G. Gordon Liddy's autobiography is as spookily fascinating now as it was in 1980, especially the memorably unvarnished depiction of his early years. Listening with admiration to Adolf Hitler on the radio, seeking to free himself from "disabling emotionalism" by slaughtering chickens, young Gordon must have made quite an impression on the neighbors. The army, the F.B.I., the Watergate scandal, and jail are covered with equal pungency: you have to admire the author's ferocious candor, whatever you think of his values. This new edition features a 1996 postscript as combative as the main text.
Review
"Candid...forthright...lucid...graphic...intelligent...mind-boggling...outrageous. Whatever else may be said of Mr. Liddy, he is a True Believer."-- Larry King, The New York Times Book Review
"There is almost an embarrassment of riches in the book. His story rings true...It is credible. A hundred little facts and inferences convince me that he has been as honest as he could be."-- Bob Woodward, The Washington Post Book World
"WILL is, I think, destined to become a classic; certainly it is one of the most engrossing and thoroughly honest self-revelations that I have ever read. This is one you've absolutely got to read."-- Denver Post
