King Richard: Nixon and Watergate - An American Tragedy

One of USA Today's Best Books of the Year A riveting account of the crucial days, hours, and moments when the Watergate conspiracy consumed, and ultimately toppled, a president - from the best- selling author of One Minute to Midnight.In January 1973, Richard Nixon had just been inaugurated after winning re-election in a historic landslide.

He enjoyed an almost 70 percent approval rating.

But by April 1973, his presidency had fallen apart as the Watergate scandal metastasized into what White House counsel John Dean called “a full- blown cancer.” King Richard is the intimate, utterly absorbing narrative of the tension-packed hundred days when the Watergate conspiracy unraveled as the burglars and their handlers turned on one another, exposing the crimes of a vengeful president.
