Descriere magazin:
The exposé that reveals a prostitution ring, heavy CIA involvement, spying on the White House as well as on the Democrats, and plots within plots ( The Washington Post ) Ten years after the infamous Watergate scandal that brought down the Nixon presidency, Jim Hougan--then the Washington editor of Harper\'s Magazine --set out to write a profile of Lou Russell, a boozy private-eye who plied his trade in the vice-driven underbelly of the nation\'s capital. Hougan soon discovered that Russell was the sixth man, the one who got away when his boss, veteran CIA officer Jim McCord, led a break-in team into a trap at the Watergate. Using the Freedom of Information Act to win the release of the FBI\'s Watergate investigation--some thirty-thousand pages of documents that neither the Washington Post nor the Senate had seen--Hougan refuted the orthodox narrative of the affair. Armed with evidence hidden from the public for more than a decade, Hougan proves that McCord deliberately sabotaged the June 17, 1972, burglary. None of the Democrats\' phones had been bugged, and the spy-team\'s ostensible leader, Gordon Liddy, was himself a pawn--at once, guilty and oblivious. The power struggle that unfolded saw E. Howard Hunt and Jim McCord using the White House as a cover for an illicit domestic intelligence operation involving call-girls at the nearby Columbia Plaza Apartments. A New York Times Notable Book, Secret Agenda present[s] some valuable new evidence and explored many murky corners of our recent past . . . The questions [Hougan] has posed here--and some he hasn\'t--certainly deserve an answer ( The New York Times Book Review ). Kirkus Reviews declared the book a fascinating series of puzzles--with all the detective work laid out.
