White House E-Mail: The Top Secret Messages the Reagan/Bush White House Thought They Had Destroyed

This publication represents a selection of the most dramatic and revealing computer communications that flowed through the national security offices of the Reagan/Bush White House. These are the secret E-mail messages behind the most scandalous policies of recent times - the E-mail that Oliver North and John Poindexter thought they had deleted from their computers before leaving the National Security Council in disgrace. President Reagan tried to have these documents erased. President Bush tried to keep their existence a complete secret. However, they were thwarted by a court ruling that has effectively declassified these 3000 documents. The best of them are here, published as a paperback and floppy disk set, so that readers can now call up White House E-mail on their own computers. The result is a wire-tap access to US policy deliberations, personal feuding, political manoeuvering and government gossip that no one outside the inner circle of Washington power was ever intended to read.
