A father’s last confession to his son about the CIA, Watergate, and the plot to assassinate President John F. Kennedy, this is the remarkable true story of St. John Hunt and his father E. Howard Hunt, the infamous Watergate burglar and CIA spymaster. In Howard Hunt's near-death confession to his son St. John, he revealed that key figures in the CIA were responsible for the plot to assassinate JFK in Dallas, and that Hunt himself was approached by the plotters, among whom included the CIA’s David Atlee Phillips, Cord Meyer, Jr., and William Harvey, as well as future Watergate burglar Frank Sturgis. An incredible true story told from an inside, authoritative source, this is also a personal account of a uniquely dysfunctional American family caught up in two of the biggest political scandals of the 20th century.

Howard Hunt and the JFK Plotters, Documents & Photographs, CHAPTER 1 Watergate In Context I've always thought of myself as being of sound moral character. As I move through my fifties, I feel this statement is substantiated by the fact that, though I have pushed the envelope of legality, never once have I been accused of double dealing or other unethical behavior. As with all self-assessments, these value judgments can be different from the ones other people may have. Everyone likes to think they're honest and true, but there are always others who have a different agenda or whose story comes into conflict with your own. Having said that, and realizing full well that at least the members of my family may object to the story I'm about to relate, I will recount events in my life that have had a profound effect on me. After wrestling with many of the issues that arise out of this story, I've reached a simple ideology: you can't make everybody happy all the time. Another factor that has weighed heavily on my mind is the concept of truth, one of those lofty principles that most of us try to keep in our embrace. However, we all know that when truth hurts, it's easier to turn away. But what if avoiding truth creates a deeper hurt? I guess you'd have to consider whom you're hurting, and what the stakes are in telling that truth. People say, "There's only one truth." I find that a questionable supposition. Certainly, if you tell a lie, you aren't telling the truth. But consider truth as a three -dimensional value. Truth would then be subject to point of view. What I see and therefore "know," might be different from what the person on the other side of this three-dimensional value sees, and therefore knows. This variance, then, brings into play moral and ethical issues. People "see" things in a way that supports the agenda that they have. The agenda I have in writing this story is to recount, to the best of my recollection, only those events of which I have direct knowledge and involvement. As is true in many families, the children of my parents (there are four) fulfilled many of the standard, stereotypical personality traits inherent in most post-WWII families. Lisa, the eldest, was the classic dark and brooding teen drama queen. She was the first to experiment with drugs, sex and rock 'n' roll. For a time, in the fashion of "girl interrupted," she was held in a hospital in Marylan
