The Nixon Defense by John Dean, Signed Hard-Cover

 The Nixon Defense is an unprecedented detailed and fact-based account of the Watergate scandal exposing the differences between what we’ve come to believe about the affair and what actually happened.

John W. Dean was legal counsel to President Nixon during the Watergate scandal, and his Senate testimony led to Nixon’s resignation. He is a New York Times bestselling author.  

“Dean, as always the model of precision and doggedness, has performed yeoman service . . . even for someone who has covered Watergate for 42 years, from the morning of the burglary through the investigations, confessions, denials, hearings, trials, books and attempts at historical revisionism, Dean’s book has an authoritative ring.”
—Bob Woodward, The Washington Post 

“The most intimate, detailed, complex and nuanced portrait of a President and his courtiers that we have ever seen in print . . . Dean is scrupulously fair, but Nixon is undone by his own words. To read them is to be a fly on the wall in the palace court of the Nixon White House, to observe history close up as we have never seen it before . . . the closest we will ever come to knowing the real Richard Nixon. It is a fascinating and very important piece of history, and the stuff of great drama.”
—Huffington Post
