"In Rearview Mirror, investigative journalist William Turner revisits the significant stories and inquiries of his illustrious career, which encompasses many of the major political events of the last half of the twentieth century. In these explosive memoirs, Turner ferrets out the truth and shoots down the myths and lies promulgated not only about known events such as Hoover's FBI, the assassinations of John and Bobby Kennedy, the Bay of Pigs and Watergate, but about unknown events such as the Farewell America plot and the stealth war against Cuba. Turner began his career as an FBI special agent in 1951, and for ten years was schooled in the art of criminal and counterespionage investigations, pulling off illegal burglaries and garnering accolades from Hoover along the way. Eventually, however, he became disenchanted with Hoover's despotism, his misplaced focus on the Communist menace and his reluctance to tackle organized crime. When Turner decided to leave the FBI, he exchanged his revolver for a typewriter and wrote the classic expose Hoover's FBI, which made the Director seethe. He became interested in the investigation into the assassination of President Kennedy immediately after the shooting, when he went to Dallas on assignment. His inquiries led him to write critically of the Warren Commission Report and to work with New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison to reopen the case. He subsequently became senior editor of the radical magazine Ramparts, which published eye-opening articles about the FBI, the CIA and the police establishment, including investigations of COINTELPRO and Operation CHAOS, which revealed abuses perpetrated by agencies of the government behind a veneer of legality and propriety. In Rearview Mirror, Turner chronicles these and other pivotal events surrounding the Bay of Pigs invasion, the secret war against Cuba and the assassination of Robert Kennedy with great compassion, extensive detail, and an eye to the truth " - Publisher.
