商品簡介
Historians and political scientists, law professors and communications scholars examine the events surrounding the 1972-74 Watergate scandal and Nixon's presidency, their effects on the federal government and the nation's political and popular culture, and how the events fit into the nation's greater history. Among their topics are the life and career of Nixon, special prosecutors and independent counsels, secrecy versus accountability in executive privilege, White House crisis management, the Nixon resignation and the Ford presidency, and Nixon in American history. Following their accounts are 150 pages of supporting documents on Nixon and American politics, constitutional and political issues, responses to the movement for impeachment, and post-resignation analysis. Biographical sketches are also provided. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
