Review:
“I read Official and Confidential with mounting horror, fascination, revulsion . . . Enthralling.” —Paul Theroux “An important book that should give us all pause, especially policy makers.” —The Philadelphia Inquirer “Summers’ book is not just a history of a single hero-sized hypocrite, it is a history of a vast national delusion.” —The Spectator
