The Final Days
(with Bob Woodward)
The Final Days is a portrait of what went on behind the scenes during the gravest crisis in the history of the American presidency. In an enthralling narrative that flashes from one private discussion to the next, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein chronicle the previously unknown events leading to the resignation of President Richard M. Nixon. This is a story you have not read in the newspapers.
The authors accomplish what no other reporters have: they take us inside the rooms where Nixon’s tapes were made and edited; where the President, his lawyers and staff committed themselves to increasingly desperate tactics to save the Nixon presidency; where the jealousies and rivalries of the President’s men were revealed; where Nixon and his family debated the choices before them. Here is the moment-by-moment account of Richard Nixon’s last days in public office -- brought vividly alive with the same novelistic detail and dialogue that made All the President’s Men a number one national bestseller.
