Full Disclosure (1977) by William Safire, published by the Franklin Library, is a political thriller that plunges into the cutthroat world of Washington, D.C., during the Watergate era. The novel follows a fictional president, John “Honest John” Hastings, whose administration is rocked by scandal when a tape recording of a compromising conversation surfaces. As journalists, aides, and enemies scramble to exploit or suppress the tape, Safire—a Pulitzer-winning political columnist and Nixon speechwriter—delivers a razor-sharp satire of power, media, and the elusive nature of truth.
The Franklin Library edition, bound in full leather with gilt accents, mirrors the book’s insider authenticity. A must for political junkies, blending All the President’s Men with House of Cards wit.
