Here's a behind-the-scenes story of the criminal investigation whose conduct & outcome are historically unique. The authors, assistant Special Prosecutors who guided the Watergate investigation, 1st under Cox then under Jaworski, reveal the working of those whose persistence & idealism forced Richard Nixon's resignation. Acting in the name of the government, yet totally independent, the Special Prosecutor & his staff literally worked around the clock to piece together the truth--in spite of a repeatedly hostile & uncooperative White House. This book shows how a government of laws successfully combated a conspiracy & caused the resignation of the 37th President.
