J. Edgar Hoover was the longest serving Director of the FBI, serving under an unprecedented six Presidents. This book was written in 1958, near the height of the communist scare in America. He explains startling assertions about the major menace to the United States at that time, which is to say communism. He addresses what it is was, then, and how it worked; what the aims were, also during the lens of the time; the dangers it posed; and what “loyal American citizens” must know to protect their freedom.
