Download Richard Nixon and Watergate: The Life of the President and the Scandal that Brought him Down AudioBook Free
Most widely known as the 37th Chief executive of the United States, and the one president in American background to resign his office, Richard Nixon's prolonged political career would put him, during various times, at the center of regional, countrywide and international politics for many decades. It was to be a career filled with unforeseen twists and converts, high-profile defeats and improbable resurrections, in which he made exhaustive work to reinvent himself in the general public eye. By 1972, Nixon appeared to be well on his way to reelection, and sure enough, he enjoyed one of the biggest landslides against George McGovern that year. However, even though Nixon's reelection felt a cinch, the seeds of his devastation were being sown in the months before the election. Significantly and mistakenly seen as a sole scandal within the United States government, what is commonly referred to as the Watergate scandal assists as an overarching term for some scandals from 1971 and increasing through 1974, although more than every other, it refers to the precise break-in at the Watergate Hotel and office complex in Washington, D.C. Watergate has since become so synonymous with scandal that "gate" is normally added to the end of words associated with scandals right now. For the last 40 years, Chief executive Nixon has been typically reviled, and understandably, he's placed among the list of country's worst presidents, but this view of the Chief executive and the Watergate scandal was not but still is not necessarily unanimous.
