This book is valuable mainly as a study of Hoover's autocratic
administration. Few enjoyed a close-range view of Hoover, and those that
did got there by either flattering him or keeping quiet. Although Sullivan
considered himself a liberal Democrat, his politics were contradictory. He
supported the expansion of illegal surveillance methods advocated by Nixon's
White House (the Huston Plan), while Hoover saw this plan as a turf war and
opposed it. At the same time, Hoover was forever pursuing the Communist
Party USA. But Sullivan, who was named assistant director of the FBI's
Intelligence Division in 1961, had long recognized that the Party was tiny
and irrelevant.
