In a series of private interviews, conducted over sixteen years with the stipulation that they not be released until after his death, the former president offers a revealing, reflective self-portrait as he describes his relationships with Nixon, Carter, Reagan, and Clinton; experiences on the Warren Commission; and opinions on the Bush administration, the Iraq war, family, and aging. 150,000 first printing.

THOMAS M. DEFRANK is the Washington bureau chief of the New York Daily News, and was Newsweek's senior White House correspondent for a quarter-century and deputy chief of the magazine's Washington bureau for twelve years. He is also the coauthor of three books, including James A. Baker III's The Politics of Diplomacy and Ed Rollins's Bare Knuckles and Back Rooms. In 2006, he won the Gerald R. Ford Prize for distinguished reporting on the presidency.
Early in his career, Tom DeFrank began decades of on- and off-the-record chats with the man who would become the 38th president. Through an endearing narration by Scott Brick, listeners feel as if they're in the room as Ford speaks candidly to the longtime Washington reporter. Ford opens up about fellow politicians, his post-presidential schedule, his love of his home state of Michigan, and more. The book covers personalities more than policies and is not to be considered a biography, but it touches on many interesting aspects of Ford's life. Brick changes his voice ever so slightly when expressing Ford's words and DeFrank's empathy. In listening, one develops a good sense of their relationship while learning much about the former president. M.B. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
