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

informative slow-paced

4.0

G-Man is a dense, detailed biography of J. Edgar Hoover. It's not kind to the man, not that he deserves it, but it is very detailed about his life and his tenure as head of the FBI. (It also spends a lot of time interspersed through the book on the facts long-standing innuendo and rumor that he was gay, without ever really coming out one way or another)
