review 1: Let me preface this by saying the book was thoroughly researched and well written. However. I found myself why I was putting myself through this all over again: reading of the dirty deeds, and let me point out that Mr. Dean makes sure to keep himself in a good light, while many others are long dead and can no longer add to the dialogue. Still, I think I am done to death on the subject of Watergate. It left a pall over the country that I sometimes think we've yet to shed. I was going to type in Nixon's old retired address in New Jersey, just for the hell of it, but I decided against it. ::::shoveling the dirt over it all::::
review 2: Whew. Exhaustive and exhausting, just like the real events were back in the day. Of course several remaining pro-Nixon, Dea... moren denigrators have spewed all over this account, and yes, Dean paints himself well here, but, hey, he's the one who lived through the mess and has now spent (along with his assistants of course) hundreds of hours listening to and notating all Nixon's White House tapes. I think this book can serve as a valuable index to future researchers, regardless of anyone's political leanings. less
