Summary: Liddy, the great defender of Coney Island
Comment: This book shows how Liddy defended NY's Coney Island during the Korean War. It tells of his wealthy upbringing in a New Jersey suburb and how he never wanted for anything. It explains, in detail, his efforts to please his super-successful and remote father.
The book highlights the hypocrisy of today's right wing talk show host: the author romanticizes war without having fought, pushes tax cuts that assist no one but himself and his elite friends, advocates cuts in education knowing his family will never need public education and launches unamerican personal attacks on political opponents in the name of "patriotism."
That said...Liddy is a supremely interesting character and has had a great deal of life experiences. The book is worth the read, but you should probably buy it used.
Rating: 5
Summary: Good
Comment: I don't think you have to agree with Liddy's code to like this book. I don't agree with Liddy's code. But the fact is, his code of life is a very self-disciplined and difficult one, and I admit to a grudging admiration for the guy for living up to it. (How many of you would laugh when entering prison to serve a 20 year sentence? The guy has cajones!)
To the comment below "Genius or Sociopath." Liddy is neither. He gives his IQ in this book at around 140. That is "gifted" but not "genius". Liddy had to overcome fears, and sociopaths do not feel such fears. (I strongly urge you to read WITHOUT CONSCIENCE by Robert D. Hare, that is hailed as the best book about sociopaths). Police are constantly amazed when they arrest a sociopath after committing a murder or robbery, to find that they show no signs of fear or stress or guilt. That's how Bill Clinton could rape Juanita Broaddrick and just cooly put on his sunglasses and tell her to put ice on her lips, that he'd just bitten to a bloody mess. Sociopaths are this way by birth. Liddy was filled with fear as a kid.
Although he mentions the book in his intro., I'll say it here, you HAVE to read the book SILENT COUP if you read this one.
I highly recommend WILL, if you aren't too narrow-minded about what humanity encompasses. (As Tennessee Williams said, "Nothing human is alien to me.")

Summary: Nietzsche Knows Best
Comment: As a former conservative turned to what Mr. Liddy would call a "liberal nitwit," I have nothing but praise for this fascinating book. And the words of other five-star rating reviewers are right on target. What I want to emphasize is that G. Gordon Liddy is, to my mind, one of the few living embodiments of the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. This may seem strange to leftist college profs, to whom the great iconoclast of the nineteenth century is a hero for his debunking and (to use a modern word) deconstruction of so many traditional modes of thought, and who wish to carry on his work in the name of democracy and justice. But Nietzsche was in truth a right-wing aristocrat, and his destruction of the old "myths" was certainly not done to pave the way for the banality of a Starbucks coffee hour. G. Gordon Liddy knows this; and whether or not he has actually read any of Nietzsche is, for this astute and articulate defender of the old order of things, quite beside the point. Liddy's book is an account of a man who believes that he has cracked open the secret of life, and decides to live accordingly, on his own terms and by his own lights. As a Christian and a Catholic, I do not agree with Mr. Liddy's conclusions. But his own desire to escape any self-observed hypocrisy is, in contrast to many of his opponents, simply admirable.
