The book provides extra insight into the implosion of the Nixon crew. It shows that a pack mentality coupled with a desire to please a paranoid vindictive leader is a bad recipe. It's crazy that these types of plots,ideas,and discussions took place in the Oval office, Attorney Generals office, Creep offices. A chief of staff, domestic advisor, counsel to the P. hatching these types of activities is mind-boggling. I'm sure that intelligent and highly educated people never thought that things would end up the way it did.But it did. I felt most sorry for their wives and families.
