King Richard - Nixon and Watergate - an American Tragedy

AuthorMichael Dobbs
Rating
Price3295

From an acclaimed British author, a sharply focused, riveting account â€• told from inside the White House â€• of the crucial days, hours, and moments when the Watergate conspiracy consumed, and ultimately toppled, a president.In January 1973, Richard Nixon was inaugurated after winning re-election in a historic landslide. But by April his presidency had fallen apart as the Watergate scandal metastasised into what White House counsel John Dean called â€˜a full-blown cancerâ€™. King Richard is the intimate, utterly absorbing narrative of the tension-packed hundred days when the Watergate burglars and their handlers in the administration turned on one another, revealing their direct connection to the White House.Drawing on thousands of hours of newly released taped recordings, Michael Dobbs takes us into the very heart of the conspiracy, recreating these dramatic events in unprecedentedly vivid detail. He captures the growing paranoia of the principal players, and their desperate attempts to deflect blame, as the noose tightened around them and the daily pressures became increasingly unbearable. At the centre of this spellbinding drama is Nixon himself, a man whose strengths â€• particularly his determination to win at all costs â€• were also his fatal flaws. Structured like a classical tragedy with a uniquely American twist, this is an epic and deeply human story of ambition, power, and betrayal.
