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

informative sad tense slow-paced

5.0

The title sort of says it all: regardless of his methods, Hoover was one of the most influential people in the world when America was the most influential country in the world.  A truly in-depth look at the human, and inhumane, side of J. Edgar Hoover that digs in to try and explain the massive destruction his racist policies wrought.
