About this title

Review:

By now the whory notion of doing a tell-all book about your boss, the President, is a hoary one too. (It dates back to Ike, who got the treatment from one of his doctors.) But with this book, the Clinton administration breaks new ground by being on the receiving end of a kiss-and-sell from a member of the White House security staff. Aldrich was an FBI agent assigned to the White House under both Bush and Clinton who, as this book makes clear, didn't think the changeover was progress. He mostly fixes on anthropological differences: the Bush staffers were neat and straight, the Clintonites were sloppy and had kinky work- shift sex a stone's throw from the Oval Office. Who knows if it's true? Who knows if Aldrich was debating between this and other more devastating forms of revenge available to a presidential guard?

About the Author:

GARY ALDRICH worked for the FBI for more than 30 years, 25 as Special Agent. Specializing in white-collar crime, especially fraud and political corruption, he also pursued drug dealers and mobsters, and was at the shoot-out with the Symbionese Liberation Army (kidnappers of Patty Hearst). For the last five years of his distinguished career he was one of two FBI agents assigned to the White House, responsible for performing background checks on White House personnel. He retired in 1995.
