Biography
American government official, lawyer, politician and author. He worked as assistant D.A. and FBI agent on the Crime council and in the White House stopping security leaks. Convicted as a Watergate conspirator, the worst political scandal in U.S. history, he was imprisoned longer than the others at 52 months as he refused to plea-bargain. He was released from federal prison in Danbury, CT in 1977 as a disbarred lawyer and a felon, almost a half million dollars in debt.
As a kid, Liddy was afraid of planes, of heights, of moths, and of his grandmother's beatings. He saw his task as the need to "change myself from a puny, fearful boy to a strong, fearless man," and he did his job with a vengeance.
Liddy wrote "Out of Control" and his autobiography, "Will," He paid his huge legal fees of $346,000 by giving debates and lectures. By 1994 he was the host of a nationally syndicated radio talk show, "Radio Free D.C."
