A new biography of J. Edgar Hoover that draws from never-before-seen sources to create a portrait of a colossus who dominated half a century of American history and planted the seeds for much of today's conservative political landscape.
What The Reviewers Say
Crisply written, prodigiously researched, and frequently astonishing.
... revelatory.
Masterful.
Gage’s new biography bats down any caricatures a reader might bring to it.
