Product Description
Product Description
THE FINAL DAYS is the classic, behind-the-scenes account of Richard Nixon's dramatic last months as president. Moment by moment, Bernstein and Woodward portray the taut, post-Watergate White House as Nixon, his family, his staff, and many members of Congress strained desperately to prevent his inevitable resignation. This brilliant book reveals the ordeal of Nixon's fall from office -- one of the gravest crises in American presidential history. Both devastating character study and essential insight into the workings of a corrupted White House, THE FINAL DAYS is an essential companion volume to the authors' classic ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN.
About the Author

Format:Paperback
The most comprehensive book on the last year of Nixon's presidency anywhere. Read All the President's Men first and then read this. Intrigue and deception in the nation's capital, except it is all true. No Tom Clancy non-fiction, just real events. All American's should read this, to see how the media and Washington spin doctors manipulate the facts. Well worth the time and money

I've just finished reading this book for the second time. I cannot praise it enough.
Nixon, in my view, comes across as a tragic figure. A criminal, there is no doubt, but also someone riddled with angst, his love for his mother and his desire to be loved, something that in his own life, he never achieved.
Utterly captivating from start to finish.

When President Nixon submitted for our collective approval his resignation speech on that hot August night in 1974, did you know that he actually had TWO Buchanan-penned speeches on his desk? One being the Resignation speech, and the other a "I Must Fight On!" speech. Until he began reading, absolutely no one, perhaps not even the President, knew which one he was going to read! Now that's a mercurial man! This chronicle is full of odd tid-bits that were unknown by the public at the time. I still think Rosemary Woods was Deep Throat. Who else would have unfettered access to his desk (where he kept his "Enemies List"?). Well?
