Furious that the leak might expose his administration's own duplicity during a crucial reelection season, President Richard M. Nixon gathers his closest advisors and gives them implicit instructions: Win by any means necessary. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Avid Reader Press \/ Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Watergate: A New History | Garrett M Graff | Paperback | 9781982139179 | New | American History 1513181","offer_id":50567183466754,"sku":"1513181","price":39.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71RZHJkyjCL.jpg?v=1790813414","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/watergate-a-new-history","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
