By 1972 Richard Nixon had ended the Vietnam war achieved diplomatic breakthroughs with Russia
and China presided over a period of economic stability at home and was on the verge of a
landslide re-election . . . until he decided to cover up a third-rate burglary. Watergate was
one of the largest scandals in American history and two years later Nixon would resign the
presidency--but with neither an admission of guilt nor any sign of remorse. In a drama as
thought-provoking as it is gripping and entertaining (Charles Spencer The Daily Telegraph)
acclaimed screenwriter Peter Morgan examines how a British playboy talk-show host managed what
no other journalist or prosecutor could: to extract a confession from our most notorious
statesman.
