(2) YA This book chronicles the facts of Hoover's personal life and his half-century-long stranglehold on the FBI. The biography of an American villain, a history of America during the last century, and a meditation on what it means to be American in the present era--Aronson delivers another provocative book with an ambitious focus, sprawling and scattershot at times, but almost gloriously so. Bib., ind.
