Seller's Description:
Very good in Very good jacket. xv, [1], 384 pages. Illustrations. Index. Slight wear to DJ. Dated inscription from author on fep. Introduction by Helen Thomas. Susan Carol McDougal (née Henley; born 1955) is one of the few people who served prison time as a result of the Whitewater controversy of the 15 individuals who were convicted of federal charges. Her refusal to answer "three questions" for a grand jury, on whether President Bill Clinton lied in his testimony during her Whitewater trial, led her to receive a jail sentence of 18 months for contempt of court. That made up most of the total 22 months she spent incarcerated. She received a full presidential pardon from Clinton in the final hours of his presidency in 2001. Following prison, she became an advocate for prison reform. She served as a chaplain of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Derived from a Kirkus review: The trials of Whitewater defendant McDougal, who never deserved the treatment dished out by Kenneth Star. Nothing ever came of Whitewater except the 18-month incarceration of McDougal, who refused to testify before the Office of the Independent Counsel. She endeavors to put her role in Whitewater within the context of her life. This includes being the wife of Jim McDougal, a manic-depressive whose delusions included paranoia and a taste for grandiosity. McDougal's version of things is buoyed by her acquittal of any charges beyond refusing to recognize the legitimacy of the Starr grand jury. She freely admits not just to incompetence but to a measure of reckless disregard concerning her own financial matters. Most forcefully presented are her reasons for refusing to testify: the twisting of her words that could easily result in perjury, the overdue need to assert some control over her life, and her contempt for Starr's motivations. No reader will feel McDougal got what she deserved.
