Combining a detective story with political intrigue, this recollection delves into the infamous presidential battle between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy—and the lengths to which both parties went to destroy one another. The history introduces two key personalities: a manic-depressive private eye named Guenther Reinhardt and Richard Nixon's psychotherapist, Dr. Arnold Hutschnecker. Illustrating how Reinhardt was hired to destroy the Republican candidate and how he eventually discovered Nixon was in therapy, the study also details how Nixon was already plotting to destroy his rival, revealing that the young and charismatic senator from Massachusetts had his own medical secret. This controversial chronicle features Reinhardt's full confidential report on Nixon's treatment as well as Dr. Hutschnecker's unpublished memoirs, providing many insights into his “forbidden” relationship with the former president and Nixon's own intriguing psychology. This is the shocking true story of secrets kept and secrets revealed, the men and women who guarded those secrets, and those who would expose them.
