Hunt, E Howard

Page history last edited by PBworks 16 years, 1 month ago

Everette Howard Hunt, Jr. (October 9, 1918 - January 23, 2007) was an American author and spy.

 

Hunt was born in Hamburg, New York, United States. An alumnus of Nichols School in Buffalo, New York and a 1940 graduate of Brown University, Hunt during World War II served in the U.S. Navy on the destroyer USS Mayo, in the United States Army Air Forces, and finally, in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) which he worked for in China 1 . During and after the war, he also wrote several novels under his own name and, more famously, several spy and hardboiled novels under an array of pseudonyms, including Robert Dietrich, Gordon Davis and David St. John.

 

Hunt worked for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and later the White House under President Richard Nixon. Hunt, with G. Gordon Liddy and others, was one of the White House's "plumbers" — a secret team of operatives charged with fixing "leaks." Information disclosures had proved an embarrassment to the Nixon administration when defense analyst Daniel Ellsberg sent a series of documents, which came to be known as the Pentagon Papers, to The New York Times.

 

Hunt, along with Liddy, engineered the first Watergate burglary. In the ensuing Watergate scandal, Hunt was convicted of burglary, conspiracy, and wiretapping, eventually serving 33 months in prison.
