Synopsis
The New York Times bestseller?and the candid voice of an American president
In 1974, Newsweek correspondent Thomas M. DeFrank was interviewing Gerald Ford when the Vice President blurted out something astonishingly indiscreet. He then extracted a promise not to publish it. ?Write it when I?m dead,? Ford said? and thus began a thirty-two-year relationship.
During the last fifteen years of their conversations, Ford opened up to DeFrank, speaking in a way few presidents ever have. Here the award-winning journalist reveals these private talks, as Ford discusses his experiences with his fellow presidents, the Warren Commission, and his exchanges with Bill Clinton during the latter?s impeachment process. In addition, he shares his thoughts about both Bush administrations, the Iraq war, his beloved wife Betty, and the frustrations of aging. Write It When I?m Gone is not only a historical document but an unprecedented portrait of a president.

From AudioFile
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
