BOOK SYNOPSIS
A True History of Violence (and Crimefighting, Politics, and Power)
In the hands of gifted cartoonist Rick Geary, J. Edgar Hoovers life becomes a timely and pointed guide to eight presidentsfrom Calvin Coolidge to Richard Nixonand everything from Prohibition to cold war espionage. From a nascent FBIs headlinegrabbing tracking down of Dillinger and Machine Gun Kelly in the 1930s to Hoovers increasingly paranoid post-WWII authorizing of illegal wiretaps, blackmail, and circumvention of Supreme Court decisions, J. Edgar Hoover: A Graphic Biography provides a special window into the life of an outsized American and a birdseye view on the twentieth century.
