Confessions of a Dangerous Mind
Chuck Barris - 2003-01-01 (first published in 1984)
Goodreads Rating
This autobiography takes readers on a wild ride through the life of a flamboyant TV producer, known for creating hit game shows like The Dating Game and The Newlywed Game. But what most people don't know is that he allegedly spent close to two decades as a covert assassin for the CIA, infiltrating the Civil Rights movement and traveling abroad to kill enemies of the United States. The story is full of intrigue, sex, and plenty of great one-liners, and has been turned into a movie directed by George Clooney. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind is a wild and gripping ride, destined to become a classic.
