Review:

''I have known the author of this book for over thirty years. This is a book that had to be written to correct any distortions of truth and innuendo that surrounded DeLoach's more than twenty-eight years in the FBI, his role as number three man in the Bureau, and the career of J. Edgar Hoover during that period.'' --Jack Anderson, newspaper columnist and Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist

''Deke DeLoach has been in a unique position to know all there is to know concerning J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI during his era. This book should be widely read.'' --Paul Harvey, radio commentator and author

''No other person in the world knows more about J. Edgar Hoover than Cartha D. 'Deke' DeLoach. He was third in command at the FBI--the assistant to the director and a personal confidant. Deke 'tells it like it is'--the unblemished truth. You can totally rely on the information in this book.'' --Samuel L. Devine, US Congressman and former FBI special agent
