Join us for a conversation with Dr. Beverly Gage (link), Yale historian and author of G-Man: J. Edgar Hoover and the Making of the American Century (2022, link). Our guest host for this event will be Michael German (link), who is a Fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice (NYU), and a former FBI special agent.

Thank you to the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences for sponsoring this event along with Pfau Library.

Description from the publisher's website:

"A major new biography of J Edgar Hoover that draws from never-before-seen sources to create a groundbreaking portrait of a colossus who dominated half a century of American history and planted the seeds for much of today’s conservative political landscape.... G-Man places Hoover back where he once stood in American political history–not at the fringes, but at the center–and uses his story to explain the trajectories of governance, policing, race, ideology, political culture, and federal power as they evolved over the course of the 20th century."
