Emily Maitlis on the ascent to power of the man who made presidents wait. J Edgar Hoover built then ran the FBI for almost five decades. He turned it from a bureaucratic backwater into a premier crime fighting and counterintelligence force. In the process, he arguably became America鈥檚 most powerful man. He鈥檚 been dead 50 years and still his shadow looms over the US. In the first of two programmes, Emily shows how though his job was to enforce the law...he would not always be bound by it.
