Publisher's summary

President Richard M. Nixon, the first president to resign from office in disgrace, sought to exert so much power in office that he eventually became tangled up in the Watergate scandal and its cover-up. These incidents ulti­mately led to the appointment of a special prosecutor and a burgeoning criminal investigation of his own conduct. Nixon’s secret White House taping system provided the smoking gun that would lead to the unravel­ing of his administration. The Supreme Court’s landmark decision in U.S. v. Nixon made clear that no person, not even the president, was above the law. With the drumbeat for impeachment growing louder, Nixon resigned. Flying away in a helicopter, he left the White House before Con­gress had the opportunity to impeach him.

Quick primer on Nixon Presidency

The theme of the book is the Nixon Administration's brushes with the US Constitution. I see it as more a primer regarding Nixon's Presidency. The story of his career is condensed, with a focus mostly on those issues that collided with constitutional matters. Not much new material here for anyone familiar with presidential history, but an interesting reminder of the key points of Nixon's presidency.
