Book Description:
For more than fifty years Jack Anderson has been seen as a crusader against corruption. His columns exposing fraud, waste, and abuse have shocked the world, and he has become one of the most respected reporters of all time.

In Peace, War and Politics Anderson gives us a through-the-keyhole look at the personal side of many of our country's most controversial figures. Anderson has countless anecdotes, some are colorful, some poignant, some funny, some shocking, but all capture the behind the scenes story of some of the most important scandals of recent history. Anderson tells how he uncovered the truth about President Kennedy assassination, searched for Nazis in South America, broke the Savings and Loan scandal, was the first to discover the Iran "arms for hostages" scandal, and uncovered the mystery of Howard Hughes death. Peace, War, and Politics also includes incredible accounts of such towering figures as:
Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, J. Edgar Hoover, Lucky Luciano, Robert Redford, John Lennon, Fidel Castro, Jackie Onassis, Lyndon Johnson, Imelda Marcos, Richard Nixon, Joe McCarthy, Howard Hughes, Boris Yeltsin, Jimmy Hoffa, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, and George Bush

For five decades--from the Cold War paranoia that birthed the likes of Senator Joe McCarthy--a onetime friend Jack Anderson had to expose as a liar and hatemonger--to the sordid tale of Richard Nixon, whose goon squad plotted to murder Anderson--generals, admirals, and presidents asked themselves, "What would happen if Jack found out?"
