ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I am indebted to many people who helped make this book possible. The late Jack Anderson and his family provided extensive cooperation, granting lengthy interviews and sharing letters, diaries, and photos without preconditions. In addition, in the weeks after the columnist’s death, the Andersons banded together to resist a sudden attempt by the FBI to seize his archives from my university library, a disturbing maneuver that made front-page headlines across the nation (and which is described in the Epilogue). I am grateful to the many writers who successfully rallied against this assault on academic and press freedom, including the PEN American Center, the Association of American Publishers, the American Library Association, and Investigative Reporters and Editors. The resulting publicity led the Senate Judiciary Committee to hold hearings—Anderson’s son Kevin and I testified about the FBI’s heavy-handed tactics—and bipartisan condemnation forced the Bush administration to back down, allowing my research to resume unimpeded. George Washington University librarian Jack Siggins was steadfast throughout, protecting the integrity of the two hundred boxes of documents that Anderson donated to the university.
