At last, the shocking portrait of one man's twisted ambition and power-mad misdeeds, based on never-before-revealed FBI dossiers, front cover. For nearly 50 years, he was in charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. His power base went unchallenged. He used that power lustfully, often without a nod to the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Conspiratorial contents page trying to get lost, held by tape. Hoover died in 1972. He'd been FBI Director since 1924.
