In the face of any journalistic challenges to the FBIs legitimacy and operations, Hoover was able to create a benign, even heroic counter narrative, thanks in part to his friends in newsrooms. Matthew Cecils own prodigious investigation through hundreds of thousands of pages from FBI files reveals the lengths to which Hoover and his lackeys went to use the press to hoodwink the American people. Even more sobering is how much help he got from so many in the press.</p><p>Conservative journalists like broadcaster Fulton Lewis, Jr. and columnist George Sokolsky positioned themselves as objective defenders of Hoovers FBI and were rewarded with access, friendship, and other favors. Some of Hoovers friends even became adjunct-FBI agents, designated as Special Service Contacts who discreetly gathered information for the Bureau. Enemies, on the other hand, were closely monitored and subjected to operations that disrupted their work or even undermined and ended their careers. Noted journalists like I. F. Stone, George Seldes, James A. Wechsler, and many others found themselves the subjects of FBI investigations and, occasionally, named on the Bureaus custodial detention index, targeted for arrest in the case of a national emergency.</p><p>With experience as a political reporter, a press secretary, and a scholar and professor of journalism and public relations, Matthew Cecil is uniquely qualified to conduct us through the maze of political intrigue and influence peddling that markand often maskthe history of the FBI.
