An important book for understanding how important ethics can be in protecting a country from the worst instincts of its President. As the only President ever to resign from office, Richard M. Nixon is the strongest example of a president untethered from the Constitution. Nixon’s paranoia and determination to use government to enforce his own political biases. Koncewicz has been an archivist at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and he used the Nixon tapes in particular to uncover those Republicans who stood up to the President when he asked them to conduct tax audits on his enemies, cut funding for universities, and most importantly, obstruct the Watergate investigation. Koncewicz explores their motivations and reveals how a belief in the impartiality of the civil service system protects the American people. The book also provides new insights into the Saturday Massacre.
