Louis J. Freeh in Tell All Book About Bill Clinton

Finally, Louis J. Freeh, former FBI Director appointed by Bill Clinton, has written an expose' on what life was like being the lead dog on the Bill-Clinton-Clean-Up-Committee...I am certain it wasn't pretty...and I am equally certain that it was a very distasteful job for Freeh...

According to the editorial review:

Bill Clinton called Freeh a “law enforcement legend” when he nominated him as FBI Director. The good feelings would not last. Going toe-to-toe with his boss during the scandal-plagued ‘90s, Freeh fought hard to defend his agency from political interference and to protect America from the growing threat of international terrorism. When Clinton later called that appointment the worst one he had made as president, Freeh considered it “a badge of honor.”

This is Freeh’s entire story, from his Catholic upbringing in New Jersey to law school, the FBI training academy, his career as a US District attorney and as a federal judge, and finally his eight years as the nation’s top cop. This is the definitive account of American law enforcement in the run-up to September 11. Freeh is clear-eyed, frank, the ultimate realist, and he offers resolute vision for the struggles ahead...

Mine's on order...
