J. Edgar Hoover was a famous politician born on Jan. 01, 1895. He was the first Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He held that office from 1924 to 1972 . He was the one that made it the organization that it has become. He ruled the organization with an iron fist and took no guff from other government branches. Under his administration, the FBI set the standard for a modern law enforcement agency. He was also known to overstep the law for his own personal agenda.
