At That Point in Time: The Inside Story of the Senate Watergate Committee

275 pp. The first book written by someone actually on the Senate Committee, an insider who observed first-hand the inner workings of a committee that became to those on the outside a unique mixture of factfinding, politics, and showmanship. Thompson writes intimately and candidly about his fellow committee members... And Thompson himself: a partisan coping with his own conscience, sifting through mountains of material, keeping up with the questioning, following the leads, dealing with the press, tracing the leaks, clashing with witnesses and committee members alike, adjusting to his newfound notoriety.--jacket
