|
I've read and thoroughly enjoy All The President's Men by Woodward and Bernstein. I was looking for books that specifically dealt with the perpetrators connection with the Bay of Pigs.

1. 'Blind Ambition' by John Dean. |
|
The insider's story. It's been a long long time since I read it, but: I remember it being great, can't remember how deeply he went into the Cuban connection.

3. Thanks for that suggestion. |
|
I really enjoyed Dean's 'Worse Than Watergate' about the Bush administration, so I'm sure his book about Watergate must be very revealing.

2. "Breach of Faith" by Theodore White |
|
Same as Richardo, I read it decades ago so I can't say if it addresses your particular interest.

I have Integrity: good people, bad choices on hold at the library. I saw Egil Krogh do a 3 hour power point presentation on the local university channel. It was so interesting it convinced me to read his book.

is excellent. There was a TV movie made about it with Martin Sheen as John Dean.

6. Oh, thought I had a suggestion - but it was a documentary that |
|
was nominated for an academy award recently - about Daniel Elsberg. Next time I go to Blockbuster I want to see if they have it.
