The Prince of Darkness 50 Years Reporting in

One of the finest--and most controversial--political reporters in America, Novak offers the first full account of his involvement in the Valerie Plame CIA leak scandal, while also revealing the fascinating story of his remarkable life and career.

ROBERT D. NOVAK writes “Inside Report,” one of the longest-running syndicated columns in the nation, and the “Evans-Novak Political Report,” which he began in the 1960s with the late Rowland Evans. Now a Fox News contributor, he spent twenty-five years as a political commentator for CNN. Novak is the author or coauthor of five other books, the most recent being Completing the Revolution. He lives in Washington, D.C.
