I read Official and Confidential with mounting horror, fascination,
revulsion... Enthralling
*Paul Theroux*
Summers' book is not just a history of a single hero-sized
hypocrite, it is a history of a vast national delusion
*Spectator*
The exposure we have been waiting for these last forty years
*Norman Mailer*
Garbage... Innuendo, lies
*Cartha DeLoach, former close aide to Hoover*
The book is more exciting, and more damning, than the film...This
is bold, excoriating, unmissable stuff.
*Independent on Sunday*
Fascinating and alarming.
*Gore Vidal*
