Buckley Jr., whom Hunt brought into the CIA - The amazing steps the CIA took to manipulate the media in America and abroad - The motives behind the break-in at Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office - Why the White House "plumbers" were formed and what they accomplished - The truth behind Operation Gemstone, a series of planned black ops activities against Nixon's political enemies - A minute-by-minute account of the Watergate break-in - Previously unreleased details of the post-Watergate cover-up Complete with documentation from audiotape transcripts, handwritten notes, and official documents, American Spy is must reading for anyone who is fascinated by real-life spy tales, high-stakes politics, and, of course, Watergate.
