Shepard reveals how this Kennedy conspiracy included members and staffs of the Senate, the House, the Justice Department, and the Special Prosecutor's office. They used delaying tactics and obfuscation to postpone the indictments and avoid trials of the handful of real Watergate criminals.
Shepard argues that the abuses of power by Kennedy's cronies dwarf those of the administration they savaged. Among those he singles out for reevaluation are Republican turncoat John Dean, Mark "Deep Throat" Felt, reporter Bob Woodward, and a young lawyer for the House Judiciary Committee named Hillary Rodham.

Meticulously researched and engaging

With access to documents and tapes that were not available to many Watergate historians in prior years, Shepard posits that Ted Kennedy and those loyal to the Kennedy myth, masterminded the downfall of Nixon and his administration. The reason? To position Kennedy as the rightful heir to the Oval Office.
Shepard definitely proves that great forces were arrayed against Nixon, almost all with ties to what is commonly known as "the Eastern Establishment." He also shares some remarkable details that history has kept hidden until Shepard's work via the Freedom of Information Act has brought them to light.
My one criticism, and it is a minor one, is that I think the title and subtitle should have been reversed. I believe "Inside the Real Watergate Conspiracy: The Plot to Make Ted Kennedy President," would have been more accurate and less sensational than the title chosen.
In any event, it is a five-star book that all students of Watergate and the Nixon presidency should read.
