J. Edgar Hoover, born on January 1, 1895, was a legendary figure who created American history and FBI mythology, and he sat on the throne of the FBI director for nearly half a century. As the secret keeper and supreme ruler of the institution, Hoover was the embodiment of the FBI and a feared and mysterious figure. He is the most powerful figure in American history, but also the most controversial.
Even in the more than 30 years since his death, the controversy about him has never stopped.
In the past 20 years, an author named Richard Heiko has interviewed more than a dozen insiders and consulted thousands of documents about Hoover, and recently wrote a new book that exposes the secrets of Hoover's power, "The Puppet King: The Secret Life of J. Edgar Hoover."
In 1924, Hoover, then a young lawyer in the Department of Justice, was appointed director of the F.B.I., and no one would have imagined that he would sit in this position for 48 years. In those 48 years, the United States has changed 8 ** and 16 attorney generals, but the director of the FBI has always been named J. Edgar Hoover. He wields power that no subsequent FBI leader has ever been able to surpass.
Richard Heiko writes in his book: "Hoover knew how to keep secrets, and that was the real reason for his success." Not only does he know these secrets, but no one knows exactly which secrets he knows.
None of them dared to fire Hoover, because none of them knew what Hoover knew. This is the biggest intimidation for **. ”

Edgar Hoover (January 1, 1895 May 2, 1972) was the first director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) who served for 48 years. As a legendary figure who has been in the limelight for nearly half a century, his fame far exceeds that of movie stars, and his power is beyond the reach of **.
He was a symbol of his time and an icon of the American people. Hoover had a high reputation among the American public during his lifetime, but after his death, controversy about him intensified. Many critics believe that his actions have exceeded the scope of the FBI's mandate.
He used the FBI to harass political dissidents and activists, to collect secret files on political leaders, and to gather evidence using illegal means. It is precisely because of Hoover's long and controversial tenure at the helm of the FBI that the current term of office of the FBI director is limited to 10 years.
