Editorial Reviews

" Everyone knows of the ""eighteen minutes of silence"" that helped lead to Nixon's disgrace and downfall. But few are aware that he was not the only president to secretly record conversations in the Oval Office. Investigative Reports; was granted extensive access to the historic recordings made by seven presidents, many of which are heard here for the first time. They offer a privileged look at some of the defining moments of the 20th century, and reveal the convictions and doubts of the men who have held the highest office in the land. Hear Franklin Roosevelt candidly discussing a Japanese threat to Hawaii fourteen months before Pearl Harbor. Listen as John Kennedy manages the most dangerous nuclear showdown in history during the tense moments of the Cuban Missle Crisis. And hear Lyndon Johnson privately admitting that there was no way to win in Vietnam just before committing 180,000 American troops to the war. Go behind the doors of the Oval Office for a remarkable view of the decisions that have shaped history in THE SECRET WHITE HOUSE TAPES!"
