Based on Nixon’s overlooked recordings, New York
Times bestselling author John W. Dean connects
the dots between what we’ve come to believe about
Watergate and what actually happened Watergate forever changed American politics, and in light of
the revelations about the NSA’s widespread surveillance
program, the scandal has taken on new significance. Yet
remarkably, four decades after Nixon was forced to resign,
no one has told the full story of his involvement in Watergate. In The Nixon Defense, former White House Counsel John
W. Dean, one of the last major surviving figures of
Watergate, draws on his own transcripts of almost a thousand
conversations, a wealth of Nixon’s secretly recorded
information, and more than 150,000 pages of documents in the
National Archives and the Nixon Library to provide the
definitive answer to the question: What did President Nixon know and when did he know it? Through narrative and contemporaneous dialogue, Dean
connects dots that have never been connected, including
revealing how and why the Watergate break-in occurred, what
was on the mysterious 18 1/2 minute gap in Nixon’s recorded
conversations, and more. In what will stand as the most authoritative account of one
of America’s worst political scandals, The Nixon
Defense shows how the disastrous mistakes of Watergate
could have been avoided and offers a cautionary tale for our
own time.
