Nixon Volume #3: Ruin and Recovery 1973-1990

December 21, 2020

This is Stephen Ambrose's final volume in his trilogy on Richard Nixon, covering Watergate, Nixon's resignation, his years in exile, and his carefully-crafted comeback. This was written in 1991, three years before Nixon's death. While the title indicates that this book starts with 1973, it actually begins the morning after Nixon's landslide win over George McGovern in November 1972, with Nixon calling his Cabinet together and telling everyone that he expects their resignations immediately. So much for loyalty.

Ambrose does spend a bit of time showing the wrap-up of American involvement in the Vietnam War. But his second term is almost immediately consumed with Watergate. Ambrose takes readers through the continuing efforts at cover-up, showing how Nixon threw everyone (Haldeman, Erlichman, Mitchell, Colson, Liddy, Dean, etc...) to the wolves in an unsuccessful attempt to save himself. Not as many tapes had been release
