After leaving office, Mitchell survived the ITT and Vesco scandalsbut was ultimately destroyed by Watergate.With a novelists skill, James Rosen traces Mitchells early life and career from his Long Island boyhood to his mastery of Wall Street, where Mitchell's innovations in municipal finance made him a power broker to the Rockefellers and mayors and governors in all fifty states. After merging law firms with Richard Nixon, Mitchell brilliantly managed Nixons 1968 presidential campaign and, at his urging, reluctantly agreed to serve as attorney general. With his steely demeanor and trademark pipe, Mitchell commanded awe throughout the government as Nixons most trusted adviser, the only man in Washington who could say no to the president.Chronicling the collapse of the Nixon presidency, The Strong Manfollows Americas former top cop on his singular odyssey through the criminal justice systema tortuous maze of camera crews, congressional hearings, special prosecutors, and federal trials. The path led, ultimately, to a prison cell in Montgomery, Alabama, where Mitchell was welcomed into federal custody by the same men he had appointed to office. Rosen also reveals the dark truth about Mitchells marriage to the flamboyant and volatile Martha Mitchell: her slide into alcoholism and madness, their bitter divorce, and the toll it all took on their daughter, Marty.Based on 250 original interviews and hundreds of thousands of previously unpublished documents and tapes, The Strong Manresolves definitively the central mysteries of the Nixon era: the true purpose of the Watergate breakin, who ordered it, the hidden role played by the Central Intelligence Agency, and those behind the coverup.A landmark of history and biography, The Strong Manis that rarest of books: both a model of scholarly research and savvy analysis and a masterful literary achievement.
