"Facts About The Death of Vincent Foster: Vincent Foster could not have killed himself by putting a gun in his mouth and pulling the trigger as reported in the media. The crime scene displayed none of the telltale signs of suicide, from the amount of blood spilled to the position of the body. Foster's shoes and clothing held no grass or soil particles, despite the official determination that he walked across nearly 800 feet of grass and dirt paths before sitting on the ground and killing himself. The Park Police, the FBI, and the special prosecuters all determined the death a suicide before they had completed their investigations. No one has accounted for the missing five hours between the time that Foster left the White House and the time his body was found in Fort Marcy Park. The White House has repeatedly stonewalled investigators who sought the truth about Foster's fate." - from the rear outer jacket. "Christopher Ruddy has detailed a significant array of facts and issues involving the death of Mr. Foster. His work is serious and compelling. He has tenaciously argued a persuasive case that the American public has not been told the complete facts of this case and raises serious concerns about the handling of the Foster case. " - William S. Sessions, Former Director of the FBI. "On a humid July day in 1993, White House deputy counsel Vincent W. Foster was found dead in Fort Marcy Park in Suburban Virginia. One of the nation's highest-ranking federal officers, Foster was a boyhood friend of President Bill Clinton and a close confidant of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. His death sent shock waves through the White House and the nation's capital. The death was quickly pronounced a suicide. According to the official story that soon emerged, Foster was depressed, angry, and isolated. With nowhere else to turn, he went to a secluded park near the Potomac River, put a gun in his mouth, and killed himself. But is that what really happened? In this compelling and fully documented report, investigative journalist Christopher Ruddy answers that critical question. Ruddy, who has covered the case almost from the start, details the disturbing inconsistencies surounding Foster's alleged suicide, chronicles the botched investigations, documents the frenzied illegal activity in the White House in the hours after Foster's death, and notes the persistent failure of mainstream media to ask the right questions. Throughout his thorough investigation of the available forensic and circumstantial evidence, Ruddy weaves a disturbing tale of cover-ups, abuse of power, police and prosecutorial incompetence, and press indifference. His startling conclusion - that despite the official line, Foster could not have killed himself in Fort Marcy Park - will persuade even the mosts skeptical reader to demand a full public investigation into the mysterious circumstances of the death of Vincent Foster and the troubling events in its aftermath. Attacked by 60 Minutes and blacklisted by the White House, Ruddy has put his journalistic reputation on the line, and at considerable personal cost he has dared to ask the hard questions and find the answers in this deeply disturbing case." - from the jacket flaps.…
