In 1974, ,Newsweek, correspondent Thomas M. DeFrank was interviewing Gerald Ford when the Vice President blurted out something astonishingly indiscreet. He then extracted a promise not to publish it. â€œWrite it when Iâ€™m dead,â€ Ford said â€“ and thus began a thirty-two-year relationship.,During the last fifteen years of their conversations, Ford opened up to DeFrank, speaking in a way few presidents ever have. Here the award-winning journalist reveals these private talks, as Ford discusses his experiences with his fellow presidents, the Warren Commission, and his exchanges with Bill Clinton during the latterâ€™s impeachment process. In addition, he shares his thoughts about both Bush administrations, the Iraq war, his beloved wife Betty, and the frustrations of aging. ,Write It When Iâ€™m Gone, is not only a historical document but an unprecedented portrait of a president.
