G-Man: J. Edgar Hoover and the Making of the American Century

J. Edgar Hoover wasn’t the man who founded the FBI, but he’s certainly the one who made them into the powerhouse government organization they are today.

Over decades of civil service, including his years as director of the FBI, he modernized and restructured the organization to turn it into a true force for law, order, and justice in America. Now, in the pages of G-Man, you can read the stirring tale of his life story, the beliefs that drove him relentlessly, and the actions that led him to become one of the most powerful men in the U.S. for decades—including serving as counselor to eight U.S. Presidents.

The book holds back nothing and pulls no punches; it’s a gritty, real-life accounting of everything that made him a true G-Man in every sense of the word.
