Deep perspective

Jaworski writes about his experience and perspective as Watergate Special Prosecutor. As he breaks down the details of the investigation, the reasons why this man of remarkable integrity was chosen for this poisonous job become abundantly clear. A steadfast Republican, Jaworski does not let political considerations distract him from his duty. The book concludes with an excellent explanation of why Nixon received Ford's pardon and why Nixon could not and should not have been criminally prosecuted. Although not as entertaining as "All the Presidents Men," it is far superior for it's depth and historical perspective.
