Description

In 1949, James Forrestal — former Secretary of the Navy and American’s first Secretary of Defense — dies after falling from a window of Bethesda Naval Hospital. The verdict was suicide. But as Cornell Simpson demonstrates in this chilling investigation, the facts surrounding Forrestal’s final days raise grave and unsettling questions that have never been satisfactorily answered.  (2026ed, 190pp, pb)
