“Whether it was McCarthyism, Watergate or the CIA, Daniel Schoo reported the biggest scandals of two decades to television viewers across the nation. This book is his personal account…” —Senator Frank Church

In 1977 veteran TV newsman Daniel Schorr was forced to “resign” from CBS News and threatened with imprisonment by the US government. His “crime”— releasing a damaging report on CIA corruption to the American people.

Schorr refused to back down from his heroic decision, and now he tells the full, dramatic story behind his two decades on the most explosive assignments in Washington: Watergate, the CIA and FBI scandals, the Kennedy assassination, and his own head on confrontation with Congress and CBS.

His book is an important testimony to one man’s struggle against corruption and cowardice in high places… and provides revealing insight into today’s scandal-rocked Washington scene.
