London: Hutchinson, 1987. A Fine unmarked copy with dustjacket which is not price clipped. First UK edition. x + 624 pages. 30 illustrations. As head of the FBI from 1924 until his death in 1972, J.

Who was this man who engineered the notorious Palmer Raids at the age of 24; whose enemies ranged from John Dillinger to Martin Luther King; who reviled homosexuality, yet was often accused of it and kept files on his accusers; who was a law-and-order hero to one generation and a police-state villain to the next?
