Synopsis: James Dean knows what happens behind closed doors at the White House. As counsel to President Richard Nixon, he witnessed the malignant influence of excessive secrecy and its corruption. Pundits and partisans can point fingers, only Dean can reveal with true insider knowledge the dangers of a presidency that has crossed the line. In 'Worse Than Watergate', Dean presents a stunning indictment of George W. Bush's administration. He assembles overwhelming evidence of its obsessive secrecy and the dangerous consequences resulting from a return to Nixonian governing. Dean connects the horrific dots, explaining the hidden agenda of a White House shrouded in secrecy and a president that seeks to remain unaccountable. He lays out a blistering case against Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney, revealing amongst other facts, criminal offenses. How the Bush administration has shamelessly exploited the 9/11 tragedy, while secretly working to scuttle all efforts to discover why America was unprepared. How Bush's deeply flawed secret decision making is costing American blood and well-being abroad and the loss of civil rights, liberties and freedoms at home, while making American less safe at home, and more vulnerable to terrorism. How Bush and Cheney's blatant and unchecked use of Nixonian stonewalling, obfuscation, and deceit has concealed a government business that the American public has a right to know. How Bush, Cheney and Karl Rove have taken a Nixonian approach to any and all efforts to check their continuing abuses of power. 'Worse Than Watergate' brilliantly reveals the serious dangers of a president who, like Nixon, believes he is above the law. John Dean presents an irrefutable case that the tactics of the George W. Bush administration are -- intent and reach -- the most potentially dangerous threat to America and American life in recent political history. Shocking and revelatory, 'Worse Than Watergate' is the Book Bush and his team of cohorts and conspirators "do not" want you to read. This was Dean's 6th work. Book summaryThis highly critical view of the George W. Bush administration is by one of the key figures of the Watergate scandal, Nixon's former counsel John W. Dean. Now a respected columnist and author, Dean deplores what he sees as the Bush administration's strong-arm tactics and its penchant for secrecy, and he faults Bush on both domestic policies and international relations.Media Reviews"A chillingly effective account of secrecy in the Bush-Cheny administration and the threat it poses to democracy." -- Alan Wolfe, New York Times Book Review Publisher NotesThe former cousel to President Nixon provides a stinging critique of the current Bush administration, its obsession with secrecy, and its willingness to deceive the American people, emphasizing the president's emphasis on image over substance, mistrustful personality, imperial governing and flawed decision making, and his abuses of national security secrecy.
