4.0 out of 5 stars The Autobiography of 'The Perfect Soldier', October 23, 2002

By	Richard Ballard "rjballard" (United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Will: The Autobiography of G. Gordon Liddy (Hardcover)

G. Gordon Liddy knows Government like few other men -- inside and out. He served in the United States Army, as an Assistant District Attorney, in the Federal Bureau of Investigation and in the Treasury Department. In private life he practiced law and served as Counsel for former President Nixon's 'Committee to Re-elect The President'. During the re-election campaign he organized and participated in the Democratic National Committee Watergate Headquarters break-in, was caught, was convicted and was sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment. Liddy's refusal to cooperate with the Watergate investigation and subsequent impeachment hearings earned Liddy punishing assignment to the worst Federal prisons. Liddy never cooperated. In 1977 former President Carter commuted Liddy's sentence to eight years and Liddy was released after serving fifty-two months.

Liddy wrote "Will: The Autobiography of G. Gordon Liddy" long after all other affected parties had told everything. Liddy's premise in "Will: ..." is the self-conquest of human fear and human weakness, molding oneself into the perfect soldier. His crusade began during his sickly childhood, continued through his Army, Government and private careers, and sustained him through Federal prison.

Liddy describes his experiences candidly, clearly and well. He views humanity with cynicism born from long experience. Liddy's crusade to mold himself into a perfect soldier, his actions and his attitudes are *extremely* controversial, yet Liddy is an *extremely* intelligent man whose life molded his attitudes.

I recommend "Will: The Autobiography of G. Gordon Liddy" as *eyewitness history* that WILL force readers to shake their heads and to think.
