The Anderson Papers by Jack Anderson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Anderson lays out dizzying details on Nixon (and his brother's) financial hijinx with ITT leading to judicial favors, convention backing, international, intrigue, and the San Clemente estate. What a mess - mix in Hughes schemes and it is no wonder we still don't known the purpose of the Watergate break-in. Another book convincing me Nixon ran his government like a criminal enterprise in a way only exceeded by J. Edgar Hoover's gestapo FBI. Also interesting here is the details on The Bureau of Indian Affairs building takeover occurred from November 3 to November 9, 1972 and the aftermath of stolen property and incriminating documents. Probably the most earth-shattering for me is how Kissinger-Nixon megalomania nearly made WW III out of the Bangladesh Liberation War (1971), especially considering the potential Russian involvement an Ukraine on the news these days.
