American Spy : My Secret History in the CIA, Watergate and Beyond

1. Hunt will discuss his role in the break-in of Daniel Ellsbergs psychiatrists office in 1971, and other break-ins conducted by the White House. 2. Re Watergate, the book gives the fullest picture of Hunt's motives, why he was willing to participate, even though he thought the break in was a mistake, and the ramifications of his actions. 3. At the time of Watergate, Hunt had an office in the White House, including a safe which contained a gun and forged documents linking the Kennedy Administration to the assassination of South Vietnamese President Diem. 4. Hunt will explain why his wife Dorothy, once a Treasury agent, was carrying over $10,000 in cash at the time of her death in December 1972. He also debunks various widespread conspiracy theories about the money. 5. He will debunk theories about his role in the events following the shooting of George Wallace in 1972. 6. He will offer startling revelations dating back to his involvement in the CIA coup in Guatemala in 1954, his work with CIA officials such as Allen Dulles and Richard Helms, his friendship with William F. Buckley Jr., whom Hunt brought into the Agency, as well as his career as a World War II veteran who fought in China, and longtime CA operative. 7. Hunt shows CIAs influence on modern politics, the amazing lengths the Agency went to to try to control the media and peoples perception of the US, capitalism and communism through propaganda. 8. Hunt debunks and/or defends himself against widespread conspiracies that have arisen in the years after Watergate, that: he participated in the JFK assassination; that he wrote the book by George Wallace's assassin; that his wife Dorothy was investing $1million of Watergate money with Robert Vesco; that there was a secret "alternative" motive to break into the DNC. 9. Finally, Hunt will examine the post 9/11 CIA and offer the agency new ways to take on the fight against terror, many of these based on lessons from his own lifetime as a spy. He will focus on domestic spying and revamping the mindset of CIA.
