book review of young J. Edgar hoover

I found some more books!

Farewell to Manzanar
its about a japenese Americans first hand that were sent to camps in world war 2.
I always wonder if Japenese hate America for that reason.

the question was thought up because Sierra reviewed this book:

and she witnessed the japenese being sent away ( of what I read in the review)

and I looked around for some first hand books.

and I found a book!



oh yes and a book review!Young J. Edgar: Hoover, the Red Scare, and the Assault on Civil Liberties

Young J Edgar by Kenneth D. Ackerman;
at first glance on the library shelves I thought the book cover looked good. though I didn't know who he was or any thing....so I picked it up.

Edgar was the founder of the FBI. in the 1900's when communism tried to creep into America, Edgar and Palmer and the police force did all they could to get the Russians out of America. the book also follows what is was like growing up in his family. Its a book mainly about Edgar hoover and the raids they did on the Russians to defend America.

I liked it. now I know  who made the FBI.
