THE CONVICTION OF RICHARD NIXON The Untold Story of the Frost/Nixon Interviews

The Frost-Nixon interviews, which took place in 1977, were television moments that took their place alongside the assassination of JFK, the moon landings, and the Twin Towers attack. This book takes listeners behind the scenes of those interviews--the planning and the endless wrangling over contractual matters and what could and could not be discussed. Reston sounds a little conceited at times, but we have to let that go since he is a respected academic who worked on the questions that finally brought out the truth of the ill-fated 1972 administration from the reticent ex-president. Narrator Marc Cashman takes the listener back to times many Americans would simply rather forget. B.D.J. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 07/ JAN 08]
