Inhaltsangabe
Now to be published in paperback, Curt Gentry's masterly portrait of J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for 48 years, reveals how such a paranoid yet powerful man was able to create the myth of an invisible, incorruptible FBI. For almost fifty years, this peculiarly private man held virtually unchecked public power. He terrorised every president from Roosevelt to Nixon but shrank from human contact. Demanding loyalty, he used illegal wiretaps and hidden microphones to destroy anyone critical of him. How did he help create McCarthyism, blackmail the Kennedy brothers, influence the Supreme Court? What was his web of connections to notorious mobsters?
