I’m honored to be part of a roundtable of review essays about Beverly Gage’s masterful new biography of J. Edgar Hoover, G-Man, published today by H-Diplo as part of the Robert Jervis International Security Studies Forum. issforum.org/roundtables/h-…

In my essay on Gage's book, I see Hoover’s life as a cautionary tale for America today, as we grapple with many of the same challenges, including racism, growing threats to national security, and debates over the extent of government power and the limits on domestic intelligence.
