Summary

Forty years after the fall of Saigon, and drawing on more than a decade spent studying Nixon’s secretly recorded Oval Office tapes - the most comprehensive, accurate, and illuminating record of any presidency in history, much of it never transcribed until now - Fatal Politics tells a story of political manipulation and betrayal that will change how Americans remember Vietnam.
