Edgar Hoover, all of this and so much more was an outcome of reading this book.Įntertaining, very well-written, a total pleasure to read and absorb, this book will get me looking into things that have niggled at the back of my head for a while, and now I’ll have renewed reason to chase them. An appreciation for the Red and Lavender Scares, the machinations of Allen and John Foster Dulles, a renewed stoking for a dislike that I have long had for J. I had a hard time putting this book down.

Very interesting historical perspective, through the lens of four men I didn’t really know much about, and enlightening all the more for it.Īnderson’s not on a crusade here, he’s telling an important story from a different point of view, and it’s enthralling. I can’t say enough good things about this book to possibly convey the pleasure that reading it has given me.
