- Summary:
-
Many books have been written about spies, but few about secret police. Stove tells the story of secret police from Elizabeth I's Walsingham, Napoleon's Fouce, to the times of the tsars, Lenin, Stalin and Hitler, and finishes with J. Edgar Hoover. The interest lies in the personalities of those who constructed such forces.
