Will the Tapes that Destroyed Nixon Help Rehabilitate His Image?

Noted: There?s a massive amount of protest literature about Nixon ranging from books about how he blew it in Cambodia and Laos in the ?70s to a whole cottage industry of books on Watergate. The best scholarship on Watergate has been done by a man named Stanley Kutler at the University of Wisconsin at Madison; his book Abuse of Power has thus far been the great Watergate book because he was using raw tapes in that book to tell us about the fall of Nixon.
