Description
This volume brings together a distinguished group of scholars, journalists, and former Nixon Administration officials to examine the Watergate controversy and its legacy. Particular attention is paid to Nixon's misuse of government power for political ends, his administration's obsession with secrecy and the control of information, and the impeachment proceedings in Congress. This is the second in a trilogy of titles based on the Hofstra Presidential Conference on Richard M. Nixon (the first, Richard M. Nixon: Politician, President, Administrator [Greenwood, 1991], was also edited by Friedman and Levantrosser). Watergate and Afterward includes a final assessment of the Nixon Presidency by a group of biographers who have written extensively about the man and his politics, as well as appraisals of Nixon's accomplishments and failures by both administration figures and outside historians. Special effort was made throughout to incorporate opposing points of view on the various issues under discussion, making this one of the most comprehensive and balanced assessments of the Watergate scandal and its aftermath available in print.

Reviews:
-This is the second volume of proceedings from the 1987 Hofstra University Conference on the Nixon administration. Unlike its fine predecessor, Richard M. Nixon: Politician, President, Administrator, this compilation brings together former aides, members of the judiciary, media notables, and historians to discuss the negative aspects of the Nixon presidency. A spirited dialog among biographers Stephen Ambrose, Roger Morris, Herbert Parmet, and Raymond Price concludes that Nixon's rehabilitation will continue as Watergate's overshadowing impact lessens. An abrasive H.P. Haldeman and historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. are less sanguine. The Rev. Jeb Stuart Magruder reemerges for the first time in years . . . . Panelists offer powerful, even emotional recountings that provide differing perspectives on The Pentagon Papers, executive privilage, the tapes, policies and intrigues, and the daunting problems archivists encounter in making documents available to the public. A comprehensive overview of the unraveling of the Nixon administration, especially recommended for presidency collections. —Library Journal
