This biography of J. Edgar Hoover differs from all previous books on the subject.
My book posits and documents the existence of two political myths about
Hoover. One is a God myth, which was created intentionally by a long-standing
FBI public relations campaign. The other myth is a Devil myth that emerged in
reaction to the God myth. Both of these mythic perceptions are unidimensional
stereotypical depictions of the man, which obscure the reality of the former
FBI director. The author uses declassified FBI memoranda to shed light on the
personality and professional performance of Mr. Hoover through examination
of his marginalia. Hoover’s handwritten comments in the margins of FBI memos
are candid and fascinating manifestations of his true self.
