This book describes Richard Nixon's rise and fall in politics. The Nixon crisis of 1973-1974 threatened the nation in ways we did not immediately understand. Stripped of drama and confusion, however, the problem was that our President had placed himself above the law. The nation had to decide whether that could be allowed. This story starts with the last days of Richard Nixon in the White House -- as those closest recognized that he had deceived them and that they must force him out. The thread of manipulation is traced back to its origin 20 years earlier and shows how the Nixon team came to see politics as war in which no quarter was given, in which the White House was a command post where ordinary rules did not apply, where power could be used without restraint. -- Publisher description.… (més)

Nixon was elected for a 2d term by the overwhelming majority of electoral college votes. Two years later, facing the largest collection of smoking guns and documentation ever compiled against any criminal, Nixon was forced by his own Party to resign.

With detailed Index. (Theodore H. White 1915-1986)

The Watergate literature is extensive.White wrote this book however from the unique experiences of having written books on all three of Nixon's run for the presidency. One Amazon reviewer writes that it was especially good in providing context which other personal experiences, even Woodward and Bernstein did not. White began covering Nixon in 1955. From tiem to time he refers to his own personal experience and Nixon interviews. There are no notes or references, only a list of individuals who helped with the research, which is aweakness. However, clearly to get this out in1975 the author had to act quickly.

The writing moves the reader along at a pleasant pace. All participants have well developed biographies. ( )

1406 Breach of Faith: The Fall of Richard Nixon, by Theodore H. White (read 4 Sept 1976) Watergate was old news by September 1976, but my reaction after reading it was: who could think that a book about Watergate could be as interesting as this? I found it extremely well-written and insightful--and it really put the story together much better than one saw it as one lived thru it. Certainly as weird a chapter in American history as I'll ever see, I said. [But now I am not so sure that was accurate, since the Supreme Court in December 2000 furnished a chapter rivaling it...] ( )
