I read this book after reading all the positive reviews on amazon. I thought the one negative review was an outlier and I would be in store for a good read. This book was horribly, horribly written, almost embarrassingly so. I cannot believe anyone gave it a positive review. Read about Gallagher online, but DO NOT read this horribly written book.

Here are a few of the factual errors: page 45 - Rostenkowski was from Illinois not Michigan, page 104 - JFK was shot on Nov. 22, 1963, not Nov. 23rd, pa

If Mr. Felber barely did enough research to get these facts straight, how reliable is the rest of the book? Also, can we believe that Congressman Gallagher, with all due respect, recalled conversations from 35 years prior to the interviews with Mr. Felber, to the specificity of quotes in the book? There are many many other errors. I re-read the book a few months ago. It's a shame because the root of the story is outstanding, i.e. Gallagher's crusade against privacy violations.

I do not know much about the author, but if this book is an example of his writing, I would strongly suggest he find another way to earn a living.
