WATERGATE: THE HIDDEN HISTORY: NIXON, THE MAFIA, AND THE CIA

Book ID/图书代码： 12312511B48855

English Summary/英文概要： While Richard Nixon’s culpability for Watergate has long been established—most recently by PBS in 2003—what’s truly remarkable that after almost forty years, conventional accounts of the scandal still don’t address Nixon’s motive. Why was President Nixon willing to risk his reelection with so many repeated burglaries at the Watergate—and other Washington offices—in just a few weeks? What motivated Nixon to jeopardize his presidency by ordering the wide range of criminal operations that resulted in Watergate? What was Nixon so desperate to get at the Watergate, and how does it explain the deeper context surrounding his crimes?

For the first time, the groundbreaking investigative research in WATERGATE: The Hidden History provides documented answers to all of those questions. It adds crucial missing pieces to the Watergate story—information that President Nixon wanted, but couldn’t get, and that wasn’t available to the Senate Watergate Committee or to Woodward and Bernstein. This new information not only reveals remarkable insights into Nixon’s motivation for Watergate, but also answers the two most important remaining questions: What were the Watergate burglars after? And why was Nixon willing to risk his Presidency to get it?

WATERGATE: The Hidden History reexamines the historical record, including new material only available in recent years. This includes thousands of recently declassified CIA and FBI files, newly released Nixon tapes, and exclusive interviews with those involved in the events surrounding Watergate—ranging from former Nixon officials to key aides for John and Robert Kennedy. This book also builds on decades of investigations by noted journalists and historians, as well as long-overlooked investigative articles from publications like Time magazine, the Los Angeles Times, and the New York Times.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 雖然理查德 • 尼克松對水門事件的負有不可推卸的責任，但在將近四十年後，2003年，（美國）公共廣播公司仍在深究這起事件中尼克松的原始動機。為什麼尼克松甘願冒失去連任總統的風險，上演水門大廈的“夜盜”一幕？是什麼驅使尼克松縱容的這明目張膽的犯罪活動直接威脅到他的總統任期，導致了水門事件的最終發生？是什麼使尼克松不顧一切地要在水門事件上孤注一擲，這起轟動世界的醜聞如何可以說明其罪行背後更深一層的含義？
這本開創性的《水門事件：隱藏的歷史真相》調查研究報告，首次向公眾提供了文獻資料，回答了以上這些問題：書中附增了尼克森總統想要，但無法獲得的水門事件遺漏的關鍵性部分資料和重要資訊，這些信息資料甚至連參議院水門事件調查委員會，和《華盛頓郵報》的兩位跟蹤報導的記者伍德沃德和伯恩斯坦都未得到。這個新的信息資料不僅深刻洞悉和揭示了尼克松在水門事件中動機，也回答了兩個最重要的遺留問題：水門事件後，發生了什麼？以及為什麼是尼克松為了要得到想要的資料，情願冒著失去連任總統的機會？
《水門事件：隱藏的歷史真相》是一部歷史記錄材料，書中包括近些年來外界所不知的所有現存最新資料。這本涵蓋了，許多近期解密的美國中央情報局和聯邦調查局文檔資料、和最新公佈的尼克松的錄音磁帶，以及那些參與這起水門事件的相關人士，從尼克松前官員到其關鍵的助手，其中還有對約翰和羅伯特• 肯尼迪的獨家採訪。本書由著名的記者和歷史學家歷經數十年彙著而成，其中還包括了被長期忽略的，來自《時代週刊》、《洛杉磯時報》和《紐約時報》調查文章。(Sandy)
