A Year in the Crosshairs of Watergate
by L. Patrick Gray, Ed Gray
The last untold story of Watergate - by the FBI director who maintained his silence for more than thirty years. L.Patrick Gray III was the man caught in the middle of the Watergate scandal. He was a lifelong Republican, but Richard Nixon considered him a threat. Closing in on the conspiracy, Gray became the target of one of Watergate's most shocking acts - Nixon's 'smoking gun' attempt to have the CIA stop the FBI investigation. And when the U.S. Senate focused its attention on Gray in April 1973, the White House threw him to the wolves; John Ehrlichman famously advised that he be left to 'twist slowly, slowly in the wind.' This book is Gray's firsthand account of what really happened during his crucial year as acting director of the FBI, based on a never-before-published first-person account and previously secret documents ....
"Overall, this is a fast-paced, sometimes chilling insider's account of the desperate attempt to save a corrupt administration, without regard to whose lives were destroyed. Recommended for all public libraries." - Publishers Weekly.
