About this audiobook
What if everything you thought you knew about Watergate was wrong?
For fifty years, Richard Nixon has stood as America’s political monster — the paranoid crook who brought down the presidency. But history, like power, is never that simple.
Nixon Unmasked cuts through half a century of distortion to reveal the man, the machine, and the myths that reshaped American democracy. Drawing from declassified FBI and CIA files, Oval Office tapes, and Senate hearing transcripts, historian Miguel Thornton dismantles fifteen enduring legends — from “Nixon the paranoid tyrant” to “Deep Throat the selfless whistleblower.”
This investigative account exposes the truth behind the enemies list, the Watergate break-in, and the leaks that toppled a presidency. Nixon Unmasked reveals how the media turned a complex Cold War power struggle into a simple morality play — rewriting the story to protect the system that survived it.
