Overview

"J. Edgar Hoover: The Father of the Cold War examines Hoover's career in detail, and looks at his role in the development of the Cold War against Communism. With considerable detail and an excellent selection of photographs, Kiel traces Hoover's anti-communism to his earliest experiences, during World War I. Well-documented and thought provoking, this study looks anew at the connection between Hoover, Lyndon Johnson, and the ""hot"" war against communism in Vietnam."

Kiel's book is frightening...it is also exciting because it puts so clearly before us, and in such fresh and cogent detail, the reasons why we need to be concerned about the condition of our national police force. Hoover has gone, true, but the system he installed still bears the imprint of his heavy hand.--Oglesby, Carl
