Hoover Pt. 3: Hunting for Spies

Dictators

They’re natural-born leaders with a never-ending thirst for power. Through force and deceit, they rise through the ranks toward radicalism — eliminating anyone who stands in their way. Delve into the minds and motives behind the world’s most infamous leaders. Dictators is a Spotify Original from Parcast.

A new president in the White House meant a new opportunity for a power play. Unfortunately for Hoover, Truman already thought the Bureau was becoming a secret police force. So he checked their power, and created a separate foreign intelligence agency — what will become the CIA. Meanwhile, Hoover was still bent on rooting out communist infiltrators and Soviet spies. Soon enough, he began handing intel over to Congressional committees like HUAC... and to his new friend and ally: a rising senator named Joseph McCarthy. This is the third episode in our six-part crossover special from Conspiracy Theories and Dictators.
