Hard Cover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. Probable First. In 1925, J. Edgar Hoover began to maintain an "Obscene Fille" in the FBI laboratory as well as two other files in his office that were kept separate from the FBI's central records system. They recorded accounts of sexual activities and damaging personal information on dissendent activists, prominent leaders and personalities -- even the presidents and first ladies. Having cracked Hoover's secret filing systems, the authors present with unprecendented accuracy and comprehensive primary evidence the definitive biography of J. Edgar Hoover. Draws on previously unknown and extremely sensitive Bureau files as well as interviews with Hoover's family members, agents, politicians, and "targets." 489 pages including index. B&W photos.

Hardcover / Hardback. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. First edition. Hardback, 1st UK edn. A biography in which the authors drew on new and highly sensitive evidence to create a shocking portrait of the man who headed the FBI for 48yrs. In 1925 'the Boss' opened 'obscene' files to record damaging personal and sexual information on a host of prominent American figures: from the Roosevelts to the Kennedys no-one was excluded. He used these files ruthlessly and, in the process, transformed the FBI from a small government agency into one of America's most powerful institutions. On the surface Hoover appeared an administrative genius - efficient, professional and apolitical: few knew how he operated behind the scenes, to the extent that the authors suggest McCarthyism would have been more accurately named Hooverism. Drawing on secret files, they discovered records of break-ins, phone-tappings, orders for buggings, as well as information on some of America's most public figures. And, in a series of interviews with members of Hoover's family, as well as politicians, FBI agents and even some of Hoover's targets, an extraordinary portrait emerges of a man with an insatiable thirst for power who manipulated American politics for nearly half a century. Illus., Notes and Index. 489pp. lge. 8vo. F. in Nr. F. dw. A heavy book which will require additional postage, particularly if shipped overseas.
