Fifty years after Watergate, researcher Shane O'Sullivan reveals
the true story of the break-in in this chilling tale of political
espionage and deception. The victory of Richard Nixon in the US
presidential election of 1968 swung on an "October Sur prise"--a
treasonous plot engineered by Anna Chennault and key figures in the
Republican Party to keep the South Vietnamese government away from
peace talks in Paris, costing thousands of American lives. The
Nixon campaign got away with election "dirty tricks" in 1968, but
four years later, they were caught. Drawing on the CIA's recently
declassified history of Watergate and thousands of previously un
published documents, The Watergate Burglars (previously published
as Dirty Tricks) is the definitive account of the men behind the
break-in. O'Sullivan documents their ties to the CIA in unprecedent
ed detail, and how they implicated the Agency and the White House
in three break-ins targeting Daniel Ellsberg and the Watergate
offices of the Democratic National Committee, ultimately leading to
Nixon's downfall. How did tapping the wrong phone with a bug that
didn't work lead to the burglars' capture? Why was the bug on DNC
official Spencer Oliver's phone only found three months after the
break-in? And why was the CIA agent inside the plot sent to Cuba on
a double agent mission by American intelligence after he got out of
prison? Now available for the first time in paperback just in time
for the fiftieth anniversary of Watergate, this updated edition
answers these questions and includes a wealth of new material:
burglar James McCord's final testament to his family about his role
in the break-in, new revelations from whistleblower Alfred Baldwin,
FBI case agent Angelo Lano, and the police officer who first
identified McCord after his arrest and debriefed him in jail.
