Watergate
|
The following articles pertain to facts surrounding the Watergate break-in, and the other events that led to not only Nixon resigning, but three successive investigations into the intelligence agencies, the CIA in particular.
The link I most want to give you doesn't exist. Hands down, the best book on the whole Watergate episode is the fascinating and now hard to find book by Jim Hougan, called Secret Agenda (Random House, 1984.) Poke through your local library or browse used bookstores. This book gives you a large chunk of very important, and very real history. Finding a boook like this is as rare as finding a four leaf clover.

This article is from Probe magazine, the magazine of CTKA, from an issue devoted entirely to Watergate, published in January of 1996 in the swirl of controversy over Oliver Stone's film Nixon. The article is based largely on Adrian Havill's research from his book Deep Truth. For a recent update on this theme, find Robert Sam Anson's 1996 George magazine piece on Woodward. |

This is the "official version" for those who don't know much about the case. The official version, however, seems to be the cover story for a much more sinister effort (see the blurb at the top of the page and read the book!) This site is provided by the Washington Post, and revists their thesis and original articles on the subject. |
