An aging judge about to step
down. Aggressive prosecutors friendly with the judge. A disgraced president. A
nation that had already made up its mind.
The Watergate trials were a legal
mess—and now, with the discovery of new documents that reveal shocking
misconduct by prosecutors and judges alike, former Nixon staffer Geoff Shepard
has a convincing case that the wrongdoing of these history-making trials was
actually a bigger scandal than the Watergate scandal itself. And Washington Post reporters Woodward and
Bernstein were right in the middle of the criminal activities.
Here is an account of Watergate
that does not yet again re-crucify Nixon, but demands, with verifiable
authority, that the whole subject be revisited under a different, more balanced
spotlight.
Mr. Shepard was “in the room”
every bit as much as John Dean and others, yet emerges with a different
viewpoint entirely.
Hardcover, 385 pages
“The Real Watergate Scandal is one of the most valuable books ever
published on the Nixon presidency. Geoff Shepard’s intrepid archival research
has unearthed documents that expose evidence of deeply disturbing collusion between
the Watergate special prosecutors and the presiding judge in the Watergate
criminal trials. It’s the biggest Watergate bombshell to hit since the Nixon
tapes in 1973—with implications at once historic and relevant today.”
—JAMES ROSEN, author of The Strong Man: John Mitchell and the
Secrets of Watergate
