Master of Deceit: J. Edgar Hoover & America in the Age of Lies By Marc Aronson

Master of Deceit focuses on the life of J. Edgar Hoover. Though he is not the founder of the FBI, he is the one that is able to build up the FBI and create it--to his standards. The majority of the book involves J. Edgar Hoover, though not exactly his biography, in America between The late 1890's and early 1970's, adding Historical events, in which J. Edgar Hoover are linked to all of the events. J. Edgar Hoover is the director of the FBI and ultimately named as the ":master of deceit." Not everything is ever what is seemed to be. The FBI is first started off as disorganized and not very strong in force, until J. Edgar Hoover becomes director of the FBI. In this, some riveting and shocking secrets of the FBI are revealed. Even though often seen as the protectors of America, they are holding secrets of their own, all in the way that J. Edgar Hoover had wanted to do so. J. Edgar Hoover, uses deceit and lies, to rise up to power, that makes everybody fear him, and it is all kept hidden in secret, only to be revealed in this book.
