Kennedy died as the result of a plot masterminded by Louisiana Mafia chieftain Carlos Marcelloand, more importantly, that FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover learned early on about the plan but did nothing to stop it. Hoover warned no onenot the Dallas police, not the Secret Service. His motives, North suggests, stemmed from a fervent hatred of Kennedy and fear that the President would eventually fire him. He is documented as a close confidant of Vice President Lyndon Johnsona man Hoover "controlled" due to blackmail and scandals. Hoovers daytoday running of the FBI, his strange personality, and his backroom dealings are brought to life using an extensive collection of press clippings, government documents, and other original sources. 650 10 $a Kennedy, John F. 1917-1963 $q (John Fitzgerald), $d 1917-1963 $x Assassination. 650 10 $a Hoover, J.
