Description
"One reason Koncewiczâ?Ts narrative is so compelling is that itâ?Ts also a redemption story."â?"TheA Washington Post "Excruciatingly timely."â?"Kirkus Reviews In more than three thousand recorded conversations, the Nixon tapes famously exposed a presidentâ?Ts sinister views of governance that would eventually lead to his downfall. Despite Richard Nixonâ?Ts best efforts, his vision of a government where he could use his power to punish his political enemies never came to fruition because members of his own party defied his directives. While many are familiar with the Republicans who turned against Nixon during the final stages of the Watergate saga, They Said No to Nixon uncovers for the first time those within the administrationâ?"including Nixonâ?Ts own appointeesâ?"who opposed the White House early on, quietly blocking the presidentâ?Ts attacks on the IRS, the Justice Department, and other sectors of the federal government. A Culling from previously unpublished excerpts from the tapes and recently released materials that expose the thirty-seventh presidentâ?Ts uncensored views, Michael Koncewicz reveals how Republican party members remained loyal civil servants in the face of Nixonâ?Ts attempts to expand the imperial presidency. A Delving into the abuses of power surrounding the Watergate era and showing how they were curbed, They Said No to Nixon sheds light on the significant cultural and ideological shifts that occurred within the GOP during the pivotal 1970s. Koncewicz deftly demonstrates how Nixonâ?Ts administration marked a decisive moment that led to the rise of modern conservatism and todayâ?Ts ruthlessly partisan politics.
