In 1991, Liz Smith of The New York Daily News wrote, "In Washington these days, the book that everyone wants to get his hands on is Ronald Kessler's expose...Escape from the CIA". Now Kessler takes his investigation to even greater depths, with unprecedented access to Agency files and personnel. Noted author, from Wikipedia: "Ronald Borek Kessler is an American journalist and author of 19 non-fiction books about the Secret Service, FBI, and CIA. Early careerKessler began his career in 1964 as a reporter with the Worcester Telegram, followed by three years as an investigative reporter and editorial writer with the Boston Herald. A series he wrote while there was instrumental in the installation of a better plaque commemorating the location of Boston's Pre-Revolutionary-War Liberty Tree. In 1968, he joined the Wall Street Journal as a reporter in the New York bureau. During these years, his reporting won awards from the American Political Science Association (public affairs reporting award, 1965), United Press International (1967) and the Associated Press (Sevellon Brown Memorial award, 1967). In 1970 Kessler joined the Washington Post as an investigative reporter and continued as a staff writer until 1985. In 1972, he won a George Polk Memorial award for Community Service because of two series of articles he wrote one on conflicts of interest and mismanagement at Washington area non-profit hospitals, and a second series exposing kickbacks among lawyers, title insurance companies, realtors, and lenders in connection with real estate settlements, inflating the cost of buying homes. He was also named a Washingtonian of the Year by Washingtonian magazine that year. In 1979, Kessler won a second Polk Award, this one for National Reporting for a series of articles exposing corruption in the General Services Administration; he won even though his editor, Ben Bradlee, had not submitted his stories for consideration. Kessler's Washington Post stories reporting that Lena Ferguson had been denied membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) because she is black led to her acceptance by the DAR and widespread changes in its policies to increase membership by blacks. After leaving the Washington Post, Kessler authored 19 nonfiction books on intelligence and current affairs. Four of his books reached the hardcover nonfiction New York Times Best Seller list: In the President's Secret Service: Behind the Scenes With Agents in the Line of Fire and the Presidents They Protect (2009), described by USA Today as "the inside scoop on those stern-faced guys who protect the president, " Laura Bush (2006), a biography of the first lady; A Matter of Character (2004), an admiring look at George W. Bush's presidency; and Inside the White House (1995), a behind-the-scenes expose of presidencies from Lyndon B. Johnson to Bill Clinton.." A fifth book, The Season: Inside Palm Beach and America's Richest Society (1999), an investigative report on the lives of multi-millionaires in Palm Beach, Florida, made the New York Times bestseller list for business books. Kessler s book The FBI: Inside the World s Most Powerful Law Enforcement Agency led to the dismissal of William S. Sessions as FBI director over his abuses. [10] In his book The Bureau: The Secret History of the FBI, Kessler presented the first credible evidence that Bob Woodward s and Carl Bernstein s Watergate source dubbed Deep Throat was FBI official W. Mark Felt. The book said that Woodward paid a secret visit to Felt in California and had his limousine park ten blocks away from Felt s home so as not to attract attention. Jon Stewart of The Daily Show said Kessler's The Terrorist Watch: Inside the Desperate Race to Stop the Next Attack is a "very interesting look inside the FBI and CIA, which I think is unprecedented." The Washington Times said of the book, "Ronald Kessler is a veteran Washington-based investigative journalist on national security...His unparalleled access to top., Pocket Books, 1992, 3, Cambridge:: Cambridge University Press, 1996., 1996. 8vo.

ISBN: 0521363551 "Charitable Knowledge explores the interconnections between medical teaching, medical knowledge, and medical authority in eighteenth-century London. The metropolis lacked a university until the nineteenth century, so the seven major voluntary hospitals - St Bartholomew's, St Thomas's, Guy's, the Westminster, St George's, the Middlesex, and the London - were crucial sites for educating surgeons, surgeon-apothecaries, and visiting physicians. Lawrence explains how charity patients became teaching objects, and how hospitals became medical schools. She demonstrates that hospital practitioners gradually gained authority within an emerging medical community, transforming the old tripartite structure into a loosely unified group of de facto general practitioners dominated by hospital men. As hospital physicians and surgeons became the new elite, they profoundly shaped what counted as 'good' knowledge among medical men, both in the construction of clinical observations and in the proper use of science." Cambridge University Press. "Susan C. Lawrence's culmination of a decade's worth of methodical and prodigious research into the cultural milieu of eighteenth-century London hospital medicine' has been well worth the wait.' Philip K. Wilson, Times Higher Education Supplement Lawrence's work is distinguished by its exhaustive approach to the careers and connections of the medical men who established the elite status of the London hospitals. Her approach is considerably more quantitative than many earlier writings on the hospitals, and the work is the more admirable in that it makes excellent sense of conventional reports which are frequently dry and uninformative when tackled simply as literary texts . . . impressive account." Times Literary Supplement. Lawrence is at the University of Tennessee, Det. of History. She is especially interested in the history of medicine., Cambridge University Press, 1996., 1996, 0<
