Nixon's Secrets

De: Roger Stone, Mike Colapietro

Narrado por: Stephen Hoye

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.”

Great insightful and thought provoking !

Roger Stone is an excellent writer whose exposure to the world of politics is without comparison - in the sense that he tells it like it was and is - nothing held back. This is why this book and his work is exceptional. Nixon is a fascinating story that weaves all dimensions of the political dynamic in our country that repeats itself today. The dark and horrific underbelly - and the higher ideals that are now so very scarce among our degenerated political class.

Loved it

Great book! With a lot of valuable information. A must for anyone who likes the subject

An unexpected education!

A clear insight into our government and the people that make It work. John Dean's betrayal puts him in the same class as Hillary Clinton. Both willing to do anything to get what they want.

outstanding well balanced story of Richard Nixon

love this book Roger Stone was balanced and fair and provided redemption for Richard Nixon! shows the depth of corruption in Washington and in our government! well worth the time to read.. Roger Stone continues to expose the corruption of the deep State and swamp in Washington DC.. I work with White House Advance man that the 1972 Convention in Miami Beach..

Oh Boy!

There may be other bio out there on Nixon and I thought Roger Stone did a great job writing on LBJ, so I have been listening to this. Not a close listen, I'll do that later

It is personal taste and I found I did not like the Stephen Hoye narration and that made listening a bit of an effort. A lot of the names, as important as they are were lost on me and I need a brief Who is Who beside me.
Hoover certainly had his camera everywhere.
This is more action packed than the Wild West.
