• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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.

The whole Warren Commission and its report is a total joke and this book proves it. -- Don Adams, FBI Agent (Retired) This book is an invaluable research tool, must reading for anyone wishing to understand the origins and maintenance of the Cold War. -- William T. Turner, Former FBI Agent 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.
