Summary
Learn the inside scoop on Watergate, the Ford Pardon, and the 18-minute Gap. Roger Stone, The New York Times best-selling author of The Man Who Killed Kennedy: The Case Against LBJ, gives the inside scoop on Nixon’s rise and fall in Watergate in his new book Nixon’s Secrets. Stone charts Nixon’s rise from election to Congress in 1946 to his stinging defeats that preceded the greatest comeback in American Presidential history.
"Just as the assassination of JFK prevents a balanced analysis of Kennedy and his times, the myth of Watergate prevents a reappraisal of our 37th President,” said Stone, who’s book on LBJ was the second biggest selling book during the 50th anniversary of Kennedy’s murder.
Stone reveals how the Kennedy’s wiretapped Nixon’s hotel room the night before the Nixon-Kennedy debate, and stole Nixon's medical records from his psychiatrist’s office. Stone lays out how Kennedy's running mate Lyndon Johnson stole Texas from JFK through vote fraud while Mayor Richard Daley stole Illinois, and how JFK actually lost the popular vote. Stone looks at the Nixon Presidency: the desegregation of the public schools, the progressive social programs, Nixon's struggle to end the war in Vietnam, the historic SALT arms reduction agreement with Russia, the saving of Israel in the Six Days War, the opening to China, and the disastrous decision to take America off the gold standard.
"The mainstream media’s interpretation of the facts surrounding the Watergate episode are a fantastic and grotesque distortion of historical truth,” said Stone. "Cursory examination of the facts in Watergate will reveal that the actions that caused the fall of Nixon cannot be reduced to the simplistic account summarized by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein of the Washington Post.”

Revealing
Revealing and compelling even through the lens of American egotism.
Nixon might be the greatest leader to have been usurped by self serving aides and backstabbing wannabe leaders like George(s) Bush

Is a computer reading this ?
Interesting book by Stone , the reading however sounds like it’s being done by a computer with emphasis on words in a bizarre manner , spoils the whole thing . If it’s not a computer then I don’t know what to say .....

Great insight
Another great book by Roger Stone with history and cross overs between political families and rivals.

* Disappointed *
I was looking forward to listening to the dark corrupt secrets of Richard Nickson. I tried to listen to the narrator yet after chapter 4, I could no longer. His voice flat with each sentence has the same tone regardless of subject matter of which there is no depth.
The content is rushed and feels like the author skimmed the surface of the topic except to tell the reader RN was as corrupt as all Presidents before him. I was really disappointed with this book.
