Yeah, the whole Reign of Terror is filled with greedy, disgusting, murdering, racist, and corrupt individuals. I definitely could add even more descriptors for the vile people involved, but it would go on and on.

It was a cover up on the part of the FBI (predecessor). They realized the corruption and murders ran much deeper but wanted to scream success, so they swept the rest under the rug to be forgotten (that’s the whole point of the last part of the book). That is literally a cover up.

The book was so damn good. I even love the follow up at the end the author has on his own investigations. It shows the extent of cover up was truly never fully uncovered. I don’t want to give too much away but anyone seeing this post should read it.
