Marc Dugain offers itself the pleasure to mix between fiction and documents the history of an influential man of the twentieth century, who was director of the FBI for almost 50 years, Edgar Hoover. If the book is the eyes and ears of history is above all discretion Dugain while we discover the reality of politics (embezzlement, compromise), and men who were presidents of the United States. They appear as a bad day, the incompetent sensualist, and this viewed by FBI director eyes tarnishes the image that America has withheld from them. However, the only concern of this book is perhaps not be quite a novel, nor quite historical.
It then remains only to delve into the intricacies of thought Hoover presented by his deputy, dedicated in work and in private life.
