Hoover's FBI and the Fourth Estate: The Campaign to Control the Press and the Bureau's Image

by Matthew Cecil

Book Overview

The Federal Bureau of Investigation was an agency devoted to American ideals, professionalism, and scientific methods, directed by a sage and selfless leader--and anyone who said otherwise was a no-good subversive, bent on discrediting the American way of life. That was the official story, and how J. Edgar Hoover made it stick--running roughshod over those same American ideals--is the story this book tells in full for the first time.
