Jack Anderson: Mormon Crusader in Gomorrah

Jack Anderson has been one of the most feared, reviled and respected journalists in American history. A winner of the Pulitzer Prize and columnist of the long running syndicated column, The Washington Merry-Go-Round, he has been at the forefront of every major news event and scandal for the past six decades. His investigatory efforts have helped to keep the U.S. Congress and Presidential administrations honest from Franklin D. Roosevelt to George W. Bush. This Crusader of Washington is also a devout Mormon, a Mormon in Gomorrah. This insightful biography, written by well-known Mormon biographer Francis M. Gibbons, examines Anderson's years growing up in Utah, his Church mission to the southern States, the startling and uncannily accurate prophecy given to a young Anderson by a Mormon General Authority, his bold self-introduction to Washington insiders in the 1940's, his exciting and life threatening activities during World War II, and the complex interplay of Anderson s religious and public life during his decades of prominence in Washington.
