Customer Reviews

Great observations from an insider.

Ehrlichman is NOT a "big picture" guy. But his keen unbiased observations about people like J. Edgar Hoover are priceless. Hoover was gay but deep in the closet. He had "girly pictures" on the wall of his home to "prove his manliness" to the occasional dinner guests, like Ehrlichman and the Nixon folks. John thought the pictures were outdated and quaint and ridiculous and Hoover was a ridiculous little fag. Observations like these are hard to find,AND THERE ARE PLENTY MORE! I love this guy's writing.
