spinnerroweok's review against another edition
4.0
What a book! I picked this up because I was intrigued by the idea of learning what it would be like to be the spouse of one of history's "bad guys." No one imagines themselves to be the villain of their story, and here Jo Haldeman does a great job showing the human side of her husband, her family, and the effects of being near the pinnacle of power. What was it like to be married to a Washington insider at that time? How does one react when the press reports negatively on someone you love every day? I commend Mrs. Haldeman for writing this. The section on the Watergate trial was the most compelling, and I think the most revealing. I couldn't put it down when I got to that section.
If political scandal and its effects on family are to your liking, I heartily recommend.
