Publisher's Summary: J. Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI for more than five decades, has left a profound and lasting legacy on this most celebrated institution. Only the few who were part of Hoover's inner circle know the truth about his controversial years of authoritarian rule and the organization's inner secrets. Cartha "Deke" DeLoach was privy to Hoover's thoughts and actions during the most tumultuous years of the FBI. Throughout the '60s, DeLoach was the number three man in the Bureau - outranked only by Hoover and Clyde Tolson - and one of Hoover's most trusted deputies. For this reason, his precise, highly listenable narrative is the most authentic account ever written of the FBI. Hoover's FBI answers the questions that have plagued modern history most - the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Jr. and Martin Luther King, Jr., the FBI crusades against organized crime and the Communist Party, Hoover's disputed sexual orientation, and the "secret files" Hoover allegedly kept to blackmail hostile members of Congress. Hoover's FBI sets the record straight about J. Edgar Hoover once and for all and provides a gripping narrative of a modern government agency caught on a tightrope between presidential administrations and the limits of the law. |
