How J Edagar Hoover was allowed to be in charge of the FBI for as long as he did and under many presidents is astonshing. This book explores one part of the terror Hoover unleashed during his reign. The author notes,"although Bureau agents in the 1930s walked through submachine gun firestorms when going after John Dillinger,agents in the 1960s wouldn't take a baseball bat from a Klansman,even as the bat turned red with the blood of the person(black or a sympathizer)being beaten".FBI started the 60s passivly observing racist violence and ending by egging on racists. The book documents the FBI's war on civil right well and I highly recommend.
