    Not only that, but iirc Hoover also ‘wrote’ books on communism. It’s not very good, but he tried, bless him. (They’re very likely ghost written, and possibly by the same people who ghost wrote for Conquest.) Not sure about later directors.

    Aside: how tf can one be a director of a secret service – the FBI, no less – through seven presidencies, while calling others totalitarian?
