"We appreciate Roger Stone, he is one tough cookie." - President
Trump Learn the inside scoop on Watergate, the Ford Pardon, and the
18 1/2 minute Gap. Roger Stone, The New York Times bestselling
author of The Man Who Killed Kennedy the Case Against LBJ, gives
the inside scoop on Nixon's rise and fall in Watergate in his new
book Nixon's Secrets. Stone charts Nixon's rise from election to
Congress in 1946 to the White House in 1968 after his razor-thin
loss to John Kennedy in 1960, his disastrous campaign for Governor
of California in 1962 and the greatest comeback in American
Presidential history. "Just as the assassination of JFK prevents a
balanced analysis of Kennedy and his times, the myth of Watergate
prevents a reappraisal of our 37th President." said Stone who's
book on LBJ was the second biggest selling book during the 50th
anniversary of Kennedy's murder. Stone reveals how the Kennedy's
wiretapped Nixon's hotel room the night before the Nixon-Kennedy
debate, and stole Nixon's medical records from his psychiatrist's
office. Stone lays out how Kennedy running mate Lyndon Johnson
stole Texas from JFK through vote fraud while Mayor Richard Daley
stole Illinois, and how JFK actually lost the popular vote. Stone
looks at the Nixon Presidency: the desegregation of the public
schools, the progressive social programs, Nixon's struggle to end
the war in Vietnam, the historic SALT arms reduction agreement with
Russia, the saving of Israel in the Six Days War, the opening to
China, and the disastrous decision to take America off the Gold
standard. "The mainstream media's interpretation of the facts
surrounding the Watergate episode are a fantastic and grotesque
distortion of historical truth," said Stone. "Cursory examination
of the facts in Watergate will reveal that the actions which caused
the fall of Nixon cannot be reduced to the simplistic account
summarized by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein of the Washington
Post." The author outlines how White House Counsel John Dean,
planned, pushed and covered-up the Watergate break-in , then sought
to avoid responsibility for it. Stone examines the bungled
Watergate break-in to determine what exactly Nixon's agents were
looking for and how the CIA infiltrated the burglar team and
sabotaged the break-in to gain leverage over Nixon. Find out why
Nixon demanded the CIA turn over the records of the Bay of Pigs and
Kennedy Assassination. Learn how a cabal of military and
intelligence hard-liners spied on and undermined Nixon to stop his
pro-peace detente foreign policy, his withdrawal of troops from
Vietnam, his arms limitation agreement with the Soviets, and his
opening to Red China. Discover how Vice President Spiro Agnew was
setup to move him out of the line of presidential succession. Stone
makes the compelling case that General Alexander Haig orchestrated
Nixon's removal from office in a coup d'etat and brokered the deal
for his pardon. Finally the public will learn what is on the 18 1/2
minute gap in the White House Tapes. Stone, a Washington Insider
for forty years, outlines why FBI Man Mark Felt is not deep throat,
why there is no deep throat, and why Bob Woodward and Carl
Bernstein lie about it even today. Stone reveals how Nixon used the
dark secrets he knew to avoid prosecution by blackmailing Gerald
Ford for a full, free and unconditional pardon. Nixon's secret
would not only destroy his presidency it would save him from prison
and allow him to launch his final comeback advising President Bill
Clinton on Foreign Affairs despite Hillary's attempts to block him
and her being fired from the 1974 House Impeachment Committee for
lying and violating Nixon's rights. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as
