Review # 1 was written on 2008-08-08 00:00:00 Michael Green I could read this book every week and never tire of it! Masterfully written biography of Martha Mitchell. It used to be called Martha the Mouth who Roared! Now kind of unkown to the current generation this woman was hilarious and yet a true patriot! Initially a kool aid drinker for the Nixon administration as she saw the reality of the Vietnam war she began to speak out, then when she became privy (Through eaves dropping ...is there any BETTER way) to the shennanigans being pulled by Nixon , her husband Attorney General John Mitchell and CREEP the comittee to re elect the president, she handled it the way all southern women of breeding and culture do, she locked herself in a bathroom with a phone and drank til she was drunk enough to work up the courage to phone the papers and beat around the bush at what she KNEW was really going on! OH MARTHA I MISS YOU! Read this book you will be alternately horrified and in stitches! I was ...still am!

Review # 2 was written on 2015-05-05 00:00:00 Jeffrey Pollack Boy was this book very interesting. From front to back and it was a great read. This is how books should be written versus how they do it today. I found out that a wife with lose lips can make a mess of an administration and in the old days this matter. Today anything goes if you have the right letter behind your voting record. Todays politicians should all be taken to the wood shed. Martha Mitchell had a very sad ending to her life and she brought it on herself. I would recommend this to anybody who was interested in politics. To bad the journilst today are not interested in finding the truth with administrations they are more or less mouth pieces for their beliefs.
