In the book, Bremer says he was not particularly opposed to Wallace's political agenda, which many had branded as white supremacist; his primary motive was to become famous as he had also stalked President Richard Nixon.
In the essay "The Art and Arts of E. Howard Hunt", Gore Vidal assesses Bremer's writing style and notes the apparent contradiction between Bremer's lucid prose and his characterization as a person with a mediocre intellect.[2] Vidal further speculates that CIA agent E. Howard Hunt may have authored parts of Bremer's supposed diary, arguing there are similarities between Bremer's writing style and the prose found in Hunt's adventure and espionage novels, and noting Bremer's supposed diary alternates between passages of clear writing and passages of extreme misspelling and poor grammar.
