Praise for ‘Whitewash’
‘F***ing Brilliant’-The Estate of Euan O’Dell
‘How does Blair do it? Everyone in this town talks to Erik Blair, because if you don’t, you’re screwed.’-Paris Biddle Blumenthal
‘Blair’s paroxysms of outrage at being a victim of deception speak for all of us who thought we knew what we knew when we knew it. And his unparalleled gift for the intimate anecdote reveals an inner Washington we all should have seen coming a long time ago’-Frank Arouet
‘A disarming account which reveals the salient fact of modern political life: the perpetual war between honesty and loyalty. Whitewash’ should awaken us from our dogmatic slumbers’-Samantha Franken Butler
When Erik Blair took in a homeless woman, injured by the roadside, he could not possibly have imagined the staggering rise to fame and power that the future held for her. Nor could he have known that she was hiding a secret life. The CIA, the President, and his staff most certainly could discern her true identity, though, if only they would dare to look. But is there anyone willing to pay the price of honor ?
