5.0 out of 5 starsHow wonderfully refreshing to read an account of Watergate that does ...
By sparrow on July 26, 2015
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
How wonderfully refreshing to read an account of Watergate that does not yet again re-crucify Mr. Nixon, but demands, with verifiable authority, that the whole subject be revisited under a different, more balanced spotlight. Mr. Shepard was "in the room" every bit as much as John Dean and others, yet emerges with a different viewpoint entirely.
Thank you, thank you, Mr. Shepard, for the research and effort you gave this topic, and for the complete fairness you afforded our past president. And thank you for putting your perspective down in ink before all the principals of Watergate have faded into silence. I have a strong sense that RN is giving his victory sign just about now.

5.0 out of 5 starsPolitical Show Trials and all that implies
By WHJ on August 9, 2015
Format: Hardcover
Watergate takes on a new meaning with Shepard's book. 'Watergate' now can be seen as part of a initiative to reverse an election by improper, highly questionable and unacceptable conduct, driven by a few very talented exceptionally trained people to reverse a popular election. It worked but should not have and would not have if what this author now reveals had been public at the time.

Shepard opens the door for future study of how our judicial system works, but does not. A 'must read' by all interested in political history who seek a better understanding of how criminal prosecution and investigation was misused to the detriment of the American People.

4.0 out of 5 starsSurprisingly worthwhile revelations
By rhatican on August 7, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Mr. Shepard has uncovered some truly interesting (and disturbing) new information about the unethical ways in which the prosecutors and judges conducted themselves behind the scenes of the central Watergate trials. I think he takes things a bit far when he, essentially, deems these of a sufficient gravity to extend a blanket exculpation to President Nixon and the highest-ranking subordinates (Mitchell, Haldeman, and Ehrlichman) but we all fall prey to our enthusiasms, don't we? A must read for serious students of the scandal.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat book that should be read by all lawyers and historians
By Edward A. Hayes on September 6, 2015
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This is an extremely well written and well documented review of the Watergate prosecutions. It provides new insights and analysis. Geoff Shepard is a gifted writer and a skilled lawyer who demonstrates convincingly that none of the Watergate defendants got due process because of a biased and out of control trial judge and hyper-partisan and overzealous special prosecutors. He proves his case beyond doubt that there was improper communication, collaboration, and collusion between Judge Sirica and the Watergate Special Prosecutors. Sadly, even the appellate court discredited itself. Whatever you think you know about Watergate, you will find new information and insights in this must read book. Ed Hayes

5.0 out of 5 starsNixon and some of his aides were treated unfairly, maybe even criminally.
By R. Murray on March 31, 2016
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Having lived through the Watergate era and always having disagreed with the conclusions about Nixon's involvement, I decided to read several books on both sides of the issues. This book raised a number of concerns about the fairness, motives and conclusions of the investigations. I am more convinced that Nixon and some of his aides were innocent. I also wanted to compare how Nixon was treated for his "supposed" activities compared to our current President, Barack Obama. President Obama has received a "pass" for many worse activities over the past seven years. Understanding the true history of all ages and times is important to understanding current and past events. Unfairly vilifying Nixon is just another example.

5.0 out of 5 starsNow, the rest of the story...
By Warren Rosenbaum on May 26, 2016
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
A big smile broke out on my face when I received this book so quickly and in such good condition. I watched the BookTV program by the author and was convinced of the in depth research and the undercurrents of deceit by political opponents that affected President Nixon. It is a book I need in my library, along with others that are truthful history, and not common understanding that is always so erroneous.

5.0 out of 5 starsWatergate Turned Upside Down!
By Dean T. Hartwell on August 24, 2015
Format: Hardcover
I just read The Real Watergate Scandal by Geoff Shepard. A White House staff member for President Nixon, the author tells a story about Watergate rarely heard in the media or in books written about Watergate.
That is one good reason to read this book.
Another good reason is his ability to pick apart the familiar arguments against Nixon. You will read of the "smoking gun" taped conversation between the President and top aide H.R. "Bob" Haldeman. I had always thought that Nixon agreed with Haldeman to get the CIA to interfere with an FBI investigation of the Watergate hotel break-in. The author provides factual support for belief that Nixon simply wanted to protect the identities of Democratic contributors to his campaign.
And the storied "18 1/2 minute" gap on another tape? There may not have been anything of interest on it (although I am still curious as to why it was intentionally erased).
If you still think John Dean is a "good guy" in this matter, give this book a read.

4.0 out of 5 starsIs It the Correct or Full Answer? Is the Bush Family Behind The Downfall of Nixon?
By Mr. K. D. Cooper on October 5, 2015
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
The author sets up at least a prima facie case that "These judges and prosecutors were determined to get ALL PURPOSES". This is the heading of the summary.

There are 3 great events occurring on the US land in the last half of the last century and the first decade of the current century: the Kennedy Assassination of John Kennedy, Watergate and the resignation of Richard Nixon. And 9/11.

In all three cases we have official or general opinions about them ? Unfortunately, in none of those cases can we rely on we get from any source. Bias and/or a lack of all the full facts, prevent us from being satisfied we have the correct, unbiased, or the full answer. With books like this one we get bibliographies, or "Notes" that the authors put forward to support their cases. Fortunately, by way of a great number of documentary evidence we can read for ourselves, and we can thereby accept as the author's assertion that Nixon was set up.

It is not as simple as that. I refer readers to the book written by Russ Baker: "Family of Secrets". On the front cover there is: "The Bush Dynasty, America's Invisible Government, and the Hidden History of the Last Fifty Years".

According to the author Nixon was being behind the assassination of Kennedy, and the author sets out to show how.

The author then, in Chapters 9-11, he presents his case in relation to Watergate. And the Bush family's involvement with it.

The Notes Section at the back of the book (the print size makes them difficult to read) are extensive.

The questions I have: Is one of them wrong? Or are both right?
