THE HALDEMAN DIARIES

Here is a chilling view of the Nixon administration from one who was at its center. H. R. Haldeman kept a diary of events while he served as Chief of Staff, from Nixon's inauguration to his resignation. Robert Foxworth narrates the entries of the first two years. He captures Haldeman's terse, unemotional writing style with his clear, crisp delivery. Haldeman's own voice, which he began to record in December 1970, chronicles his observations from that point. Although background noises, static and volume fluctuations make it difficult to understand what Haldeman is saying, listening to history from one who helped shape it is worthwhile. Foxworth's frequent interjections to clarify events and provide follow-up information are welcome features. A.A.B. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 95]
