A sweeping account of the Nixon years, tracing how secrecy, image-making, and overreach culminated in Watergate and a constitutional crisis. Drawn from Schell’s celebrated New Yorker reporting, it connects personal decisions inside the White House to broader shifts in American politics and public trust—clear, gripping, and essential for understanding the era.
