J. Edgar Hoover: The Man and the Secrets by Curt Gentry
3.0
An exhaustive and exhausting read.
Don't get me wrong Gentry is a great writer and knows his subject well. The problem though is that he is not prepared to comment or offer his own opinion on anything. He simply lays the information out and let's the reader decide what to think. take for instance Hoover's supposed homosexuality, yes he touches on it but offers no opinion on the veracity of the charges.
Now for some that's fine but for me it's less than fulfilling.
