Bush's administration. He assembles overwhelming evidence of its obsessive secrecy and the dire and dangerous consequences resulting from a return to Nixonian governing. Worse than Watergate connects the dots, explaining the hidden agenda of a White House shrouded in secrecy and a presidency that seeks to remain unaccountable. Dean lays out a blistering case against President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney." "Worse than Watergate reveals the serious dangers of a president who, like Nixon, is a gambler and believes he is above the law. John Dean presents an irrefutable case that the tactics of the Bush administration are, in intent and reach, the most potentially dangerous threat to American life in recent history. Shocking and revelatory, Worse than Watergate is the book the Bush team doesn't want you to read."--BOOK JACKET ER -
