Klappentext In this provocative predecessor to Fatal Politics, presidential tapes expert Ken Hughes provides a shocking new perspective on a pattern of illegal actions by Richard Nixon only partly exposed by the Watergate scandal. Going back to the final months of the Johnson administration, Hughes reveals how Nixon secretly undermined the Paris peace talks with the Vietnamese. He goes on to show how Nixon’s fears of his treasonous act's being exposed eventually led to illegal covert actions guided by the Oval Office. Through his unrivaled command of the secret White House tapes, Hughes builds an argument about Nixon that goes far beyond what we think we know about Watergate.
