Title: Pure Tripe
Review: I think it's pretty well established that Nixon himself ordered the Watergate break-ins, in order to get pre-election dirt on Hugh O'Brien and the Democratic party. He had learned that Howard Hughes was giving money to the Democratic Party. Hughes, the paranoid, demented billionaire in Nevada who dropped his support of Nixon after Nixon authorized Nuclear testing in Nevada, had been an albatross on Nixon during the California governor's race, and Nixon figured he could use the same angle in his "dirty tricks" campaign against McGovern.So, hence the slow, painful unraveling of a Presidency. This book is an after-the-fact attack piece on one of the few men who developed a conscience and told the truth in the Watergate hearings. It is a clear attempt by the neo-cons to rewrite history and cast the "good guy" as the bad guy. Don't waste your money on this book. It's pure tripe.P.S. -- read John Dean's "Conservatives Without Conscience" to see his reaction to these allegations.
