What if he had gotten away with Watergate? No arrest of the burglars trying to bug the offices of the Democratic National Committee; no investigations, no special prosecutors, no impeachment, and most of all, no resignation. What if President Richard Nixon and the men in his administration had a free hand to commit whatever crimes they deemed necessary to further their interests? No enemy would have been safe, no ally above suspicion, and no law strong enough to stand in Nixon's way of getting what he wanted.
WORLD WAR NIXON is the story of Nixon unbound as he weaves one conspiracy after another in command of an ever-expanding criminal enterprise that spreads from the Oval Office to every corner of America. Meanwhile the closets of the White House fill with ever more skeletons-until they can hold no more, and burst open for all the world to see. It is also the story of how Richard Nixon, refusing to accept defeat in Vietnam, plans to end the Cold War on his own terms-meeting with old enemies behind closed doors and making new alliances, and if the world is forced the brink of a third world war, so be it.
WORLD WAR NIXON takes the reader from secret meetings in the halls of power in Washington D.C. to gatherings behind the closed doors of the Kremlin; from the blood stained jungles of Southeast Asia to the blazing deserts of the Middle East. From a rancher's opulent home outside Dallas, Texas, to a political bagman's small office in Montgomery, Alabama; from a cozy suite in the Watergate Complex, to a "safe house" in Florida- places where the fates of so many are decided.
WORLD WAR NIXON is told not only through the eyes of the President himself, but also of his loyal chief of staff; a ruthless mercenary willing to commit any crime for the right price; a loyal secretary blind to what is going on around her; a colonel in the KGB who cannot believe what he is witnessing; an officer in the South Vietnamese army determined to save his country from a dire fate; a young Mexican-American activist bitterly opposed to the Vietnam War; and a high school graduate who joins the army because he needs a job-then ends up in the middle of a war he didn't see coming. And not only them, but appearances by Leonid Brezhnev, Chairman Mao, Henry Kissinger, John Dean, Bob Woodward, Spiro Agnew, and Steve McQueen, among many others.
