书名：The Nixon Tapes:1973《尼克松录音带：1973年》

简介：The blueprint for Nixon’s downfall, based on tapes released from 2010 to 2013, most of which have never been published. When The Nixon Tapes: 1971–72 was published in August of 2014, it jumped immediately onto the NY Times bestseller list & captivated media attention for its many revelations.  Brinkley & Nichter’s heroic efforts to transcribe & annotate the highlights of over 3700 hours of recorded conversations provided an unprecedented window into the inner workings of a momentous presidency. Now, with a concluding volume to cover the final year of the Nixon taping system, they tell the rest of the story—once again with revelations on every page, including: how Nixon & Kissinger knew privately that the 1/73 Vietnam peace agreement wouldn't hold, how Nixon & Kissinger anticipated the Yom Kippur War, Nixon’s threat to send a “division” of tanks to kill Native Americans at the Wounded Knee standoff & more...
With Nixon’s dominating 1972 reelection receding into the background & the Watergate scandal looming, The Nixon Tapes: 1973 reveals the inside story of the tragedy that followed the triumph.
