J. Edgar Hoover


I finished the manga style graphic novel on J. Edgar G Hoover. It was interesting to read about a person who influenced the United States and the world so much. He was the one who formed the FBI from OSS. He was paranoid about Communism and his policies lead to discrimination of Russian and German people at that time. He was a dictator who cared less about people, he was a showman who became power hungry and in the end was exposed. In the beginning his intentions were good but as he grew powerful he lost his innocence and sense of direction and started to see enemies everywhere. Even his facial countenance changed and from a likable young boy he became a harsh, stern despot. It was another lesson that loosing humility leads to self destruction as what happened to Hoover.
