Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

xviii, 555, [3] pages. Illustrations. Appendices. Bibliography. Notes. Index. The former Washington bureau chief of the London Times sheds new light on the Watergate scandal that forced the resignation of Richard Nixon and forever altered American politics. Frederick Emery (19 October 1933 – 15 August 2025) was a British television presenter and investigative journalist. Fred Emery spent a year at Radio Bremen and then joining The Times as a new recruit in 1958. Emery had a distinguished career as a newspaper journalist. He served as a foreign correspondent covering the Vietnam War. During the 1970s he was Washington Bureau Chief for The Times throughout the Watergate scandal. He published in 1994 a detailed history of the scandal in Watergate: The Corruption of American Politics and the Fall of Richard Nixon, based on extensive interviews with key participants; according to The New York Times it "stands on its own as a comprehensive account of this century's most notorious political scandal." He also narrated an accompanying 5-part BBC documentary series. His archive from this research is held by Senate House Library, London. Watergate: The Corruption of American Politics and the Fall of Richard Nixon by Fred Emery provides a definitive, deeply researched account of the scandal. It chronicles how President Nixon’s obsessive fear of being a one-term president led to a culture of political espionage, illegal wiretaps, and the eventual coverup that forced his resignation. Key themes and events covered in the book: The Genesis of Corruption: The book details how Nixon’s inner circle engaged in campaign-trail "dirty tricks," money laundering, and illegal bugging of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters. The Bungled Break-In: It recounts the 1972 Watergate complex burglary and the desperate attempts by the White House to conceal their involvement. The Tapes and the Betrayal: Emery highlights pivotal turning points, including the discovery of the Oval Office taping system, John Dean's testimony implicating the President, and the Supreme Court’s battle forcing Nixon to release the subpoenaed recordings. Constitutional Vindication: Ultimately, Emery documents how Nixon's resignation in the face of certain impeachment served as a triumph of the American constitutional order. Despite the trauma the scandal inflicted on the public, the checks and balances of the United States system successfully held an abusive administration accountable. First U.S. Edition [Stated]. First Printing [per Random House convention].
