&;Presents a clear, fly-on-the-wall view of Nixon&;s White House . . .  A monumental accomplishment.&; &; USA Today

Yet less than 5 percent of those conversations have ever been transcribed and published. Now the world can finally read an unprecedented account of one of the most important and controversial presidencies in U.S. history.
The Nixon Tapes, with annotations and commentary by Professors Luke Nichter and Douglas Brinkley, offers a selection of fascinating scenes from the years Nixon opened relations with China, negotiated the SALT I arms agreement with the Soviet Union, and won a landslide reelection victory, while the growing shadow of Watergate and Nixon&;s political downfall crept ever closer. The Nixon Tapes provides a unique glimpse into a flawed president&;s hubris, paranoia, and political genius.
