"Rich and kaleidoscopic… Dobbs has carved out something intimate and extraordinary, skillfully chiseling out the details to bring the story to lurid life."—Jennifer Szalai, New York Times   From the best-selling author of One Minute to Midnight: a riveting account of the crucial days, hours, and moments when the Watergate conspiracy consumed, and ultimately toppled, a president.In January 1973, Richard Nixon had just been inaugurated after winning re-election in a historic landslide. He enjoyed an almost 70 percent approval rating. But by April 1973, his presidency had fallen apart as the Watergate scandal metastasized into what White House counsel John Dean called “a full-blown cancer.” King Richard is the intimate, utterly absorbing narrative of the tension-packed hundred days when the Watergate conspiracy unraveled as the burglars and their handlers turned on one another, exposing the crimes of a vengeful president.Drawing on thousands of hours of newly-released taped recordings, Michael Dobbs takes us into the heart of the conspiracy, recreating these traumatic events in cinematic detail. He captures the growing paranoia of the principal players and their desperate attempts to deflect blame as the noose tightens around them. We eavesdrop on Nixon plotting with his aides, raging at his enemies, while also finding time for affectionate moments with his family. The result is an unprecedentedly vivid, close-up portrait of a president facing his greatest crisis.Central to the spellbinding drama is the tortured personality of Nixon himself, a man whose strengths, particularly his determination to win at all costs, become his fatal flaws. Rising from poverty to become the most powerful man in the world, he commits terrible errors of judgment that lead to his public disgrace. He makes himself—and then destroys himself.Structured like a classical tragedy with a uniquely American twist, King Richard is an epic, deeply human story of ambition, power, and betrayal.

Michael Dobb’s new book, “King Richard: Nixon and Watergate - An American Tragedy”, is one of the best political books I’ve ever read. Dobbs - who is the author of many other books based on British and American politics, - takes a relatively short length of time - three months after his second Inauguration in January, 1973, and highlights the major events of that time span.He begins the book with an overview of the times and characters involved in the Watergate mess. He brings in the Washington Post reporters as well as CIA and FBI agents and explains the connections with Nixon and his “men”. I hadn’t realised Mark Felt’s position in the FBI and how it led to his link to Bob Woodward. I didn’t remember how involved Nixon was in the coverup of the break-ins at the Watergate and Daniel Ellsberg’s psychiatrist in Los Angeles, among many other facts. And since so many conversations in the book are based on the infamous tapes recorded in the Oval Office, Dobbs includes actual excerpts to play in various chapters in the Audio version. (I switched from the Kindle version to Audible halfway through the book.)Dobbs doesn’t seem to miss much in his relatively short book - about 330 pages. He’s an incredibly concise writer and gives the reader a helpful “who’s who” at the beginning of the book. I liked this book so much I’ll probably use it when leading an adult education class.I’m not writing a political review of the book, but reading it reminded me of recent politicians and their actions... and I’ll let it go at that.
