We remember him as a bulldog--squat frame, bulging wide-set eyes, fearsome jowls--but in 1924, when he became director of the FBI, he had been the trim, dazzling wunderkind of the administrative state, buzzing with energy and big ideas for reform. He transformed a failing law-enforcement backwater, riddled with scandal, into a modern machine. He believed in the power of the federal government to do great things for the nation and its citizens. He also believed that certain people--many of them communists or racial minorities or both-- did not deserve to be included in that American project. Hoover rose to power and then stayed there, decade after decade, using the tools of state to create a personal fiefdom unrivaled in U.S. history. Beverly Gage's monumental work explores the full sweep of Hoover's life and career, from his birth in 1895 to a modest Washington civil-service family through his death in 1972. In her nuanced and definitive portrait, Gage shows how Hoover was more than a one-dimensional tyrant and schemer who strong-armed the rest of the country into submission. As FBI director from 1924 through his death in 1972, he was a confidant, counselor, and adversary to eight U.S. presidents, four Republicans and four Democrats. Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson did the most to empower him, yet his closest friend among the eight was fellow anticommunist warrior Richard Nixon. Hoover was not above blackmail and intimidation, but he also embodied conservative values ranging from anticommunism to white supremacy to a crusading and politicized interpretation of Christianity. This garnered him the admiration of millions of Americans. He stayed in office for so long because many people, from the highest reaches of government down to the grassroots, wanted him there and supported what he was doing, thus creating the template that the political right has followed to transform its party.

From the birth of the nation in Philadelphia to Disneyland and the California dream, This Land Is Your Land offers a guided tour of thirteen places and thirteen key moments that define America's greatest successes and challenges. The year 2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, a document that proclaimed the liberty and equality of all human beings, but produced a country that often failed to agree upon--or live up to--those ideals. This Land Is Your Land is for everyone who wants to find that history--to experience it and confront it, to celebrate it and condemn it--in the places where it happened. Gage shows that Americans can face their past and still love their country. Toss the book in the back seat--or listen on audio with the windows down--and join the journey.]]></description><link>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C4322407</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C4322407</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gage, Beverly]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4322407105</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>A Road Trip Through U.S. History</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668104231/MC.GIF&amp;client=clcpolaris&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1583727938</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[G-man]]></title><description><![CDATA["Masterful...This book is an enduring, formidable accomplishment, a monument to the power of biography [that] now becomes the definitive work"--The Washington Post"This is a monumental work about power, responsibility, and democracy itself." --Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize winner and author of American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White HouseThe Washington Post "Top Ten Books of 2022"Publishers Weekly * "Top Ten Books of 2022"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.We remember him as a bulldog--squat frame, bulging wide-set eyes, fearsome jowls--but in 1924, when he became director of the FBI, he had been the trim, dazzling wunderkind of the administrative state, buzzing with energy and big ideas for reform.

Yet throughout his history-altering political career, he was often treated by U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies like an enemy of the state. In this virtuosic documentary, award-winning editor and director Sam Pollard (Editor, 4 Little Girls, Mo' Better Blues; Director/Producer, Eyez on The Prize, Sammy Davis, Jr.: I've Gotta Be Me) lays out a detailed account of the FBI surveillance that dogged King's activism throughout the '50s and '60s, fueled by the racist and red-baiting paranoia of J. Edgar Hoover. In crafting a rich archival tapestry, featuring some revelatory restored footage of King, Pollard urges us to remember that true American progress is always hard-won.  -- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3570254</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3570254</guid><category><![CDATA[DVD]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3570254105</comments><format>DVD</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=/MC.GIF&amp;client=clcpolaris&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1285323651&amp;upc=014381142600</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Church Committee Report]]></title><description><![CDATA["After fifty years, this shocking report--released in a single, readable volume for the first time--is still the most accurate account of US government spying on its own citizens. Fifty years ago, a government investigation led by US senator Frank Church uncovered some of the darkest state secrets of the twentieth century. The Church Committee confirmed the nation's worst fears about the unchecked power of its intelligence agencies: at the FBI, surveillance campaigns against civil rights leaders and clandestine attempts to disrupt antiwar protests; at the CIA, assassination plots against foreign heads of state, experiments with toxic substances and illegal drugs, and covert partnerships with the Mafia. The Church Committee's findings were so explosive that key members found themselves on the watch lists of the very government agencies they were investigating. Three witnesses who cooperated with the inquiry were murdered. Amid the creep of digital surveillance and the upheavals of social protest, this accessible volume, containing the most harrowing revelations of the Church Committee investigation, sheds valuable light on some of today's most urgent concerns" --Back cover.]]></description><link>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C4304839</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C4304839</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4304839105</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Revelations From the Bombshell 1970s Investigation Into the National Security State</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781324089377/MC.GIF&amp;client=clcpolaris&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=on1519459370</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[MLK/FBI]]></title><description><![CDATA[Based on newly declassified files, Sam Pollard's resonant film explores the US government's surveillance and harassment of Martin Luther King, Jr.]]></description><link>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3571783</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3571783</guid><category><![CDATA[BLURAY]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3571783105</comments><format>BLURAY</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=/MC.GIF&amp;client=clcpolaris&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1285323761&amp;upc=014381142617</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Bombing of Wall Street]]></title><description><![CDATA[On Sept. 16, 1920, a cart packed with dynamite exploded in front of Morgan Bank, leaving 38 dead and hundreds more seriously injured in the nation's financial center.

Trump]]></title><description><![CDATA["Donald Trump took office in 2017 amid an increasingly polarized political field. He quickly carved out a loyal base among the radical wing of the Republican party, dominated the news cycle with an endless stream of controversies, and, with the support of his voting base and party, presided over one of the most publicized, dramatic, and contentious one-term presidencies in American history. In The Presidency of Donald J. Trump, Julian Zelizer gathers leading American historians to put President Trump and his administration into political and historical context. These scholars offer strikingly original assessments of the central issues that shaped the Trump years, including the #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter movements, Trump's crusade against media he dubbed "fake news ," the border wall and immigration more broadly, the rapid rise of open white supremacy, the national COVID-19 response, the calls to "defund the police," the efforts to contest the outcome of the election, and the January 6th insurrection, among others. Together, these essays argue that the Trump presidency was not unprecedented, but it represented and emerged from the long-term development of the Republican Party and American polarization more broadly"--Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3673203</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3673203</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3673203105</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A First Historical Assessment</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780691228945/MC.GIF&amp;client=clcpolaris&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1260172139</image_url></item></channel></rss>
