Currently reading an Biography of J.Edgar Hoover by Anthony Summers.
It is certainly well researched and the prose is good. I think that most biographies are written from the opposite ends of the "admiration" spectrum and it would appear that Mr Summers is very much out to debunk some of the myths that J.Edgar managed to weave around himself.
It also offers great insight (and some conjecture) as to how the FBI became the all powerful organization it was towards to end of JEH's reign.
Enjoying it....
