520			_aA portrait of a politician whose one consistent & relentlessly pursued principle was to win -- whatever the cost. Nixon was driven by a lifelong addiction to intrigue & power, whose subversion of democracy during Watergate was merely the culmination of years of cynical manipulation of the political system. Documents Nixon's role in plotting to topple Fidel Castro & in the attempted sabotage of the Vietnam peace talks; his unscrupulous acceptance of funds from dubious sources; his difficulties with alcohol & his use of unprescribed medication; his mental & emotional instability; the truth about his best friend, Bebe Rebozo; & his troubled marriage to his wife Pat.
