Blind Ambition - The White House Years (Paperback)

A six-month New York Times bestseller: "Not only the best Watergate
book, but a very good book indeed" (The Sunday Times). As White
House counsel to Richard Nixon, a young John W. Dean was one of the
primary players in the Watergate scandal-and ultimately became the
government's key witness in the investigations that ended the Nixon
presidency. After the scandal subsided, Dean rebuilt his career,
first in business and then as a bestselling author and lecturer.
But while the events were still fresh in his mind, he wrote this
remarkable memoir about the operations of the Nixon White House and
the crisis that led to the president's resignation. Called
"fascinating" by Commentary, which noted that "there can be little
doubt of [Dean's] memory or his candor," Blind Ambition offers an
insider's view of the deceptions and machinations that brought down
an administration and changed the American people's view of
politics and power. It also contains Dean's own unsparing
reflections on the personal demons that drove him to participate in
the sordid affair. Upon its original publication, Kirkus Reviews
hailed it "the flip side of All the President's Men-a document, a
minefield, and prime entertainment." Today, Dean is a respected and
outspoken advocate for transparency and ethics in government, and
the bestselling author of such books as The Nixon Defense, Worse
Than Watergate, and Conservatives Without Conscience. Here, in
Blind Ambition, he "paints a candid picture of the sickening moral
bankruptcy which permeated the White House and to which he
contributed. His memory of who said what and to whom is astounding"
(Foreign Affairs).
