A review by deelightfull
G-Man: J. Edgar Hoover and the Making of the American Century by Beverly Gage

informative slow-paced

4.0

Solidly researched.  I enjoyed the broad perspectives from multiple angles. I assumed I'd be getting mad at Hoover all the time when reading this book, but that was not the case.  It's not like I think COINTELPRO and other activities of Hoover's FBI were okay.  They were NOT.  But, I got a better understanding of why he thought they were.
