The story we only thought we knew. Ray Locker gives us back our lost perspective on Richard Nixon and the governance we inherited from his tragedy.

Synopsis
After being sworn in as president, Richard Nixon told the assembled crowd that "government will listen. ... Those who have been left out, we will try to bring in." But that same day, he obliterated those pledges of greater citizen control of government by signing National Security Decision Memorandum 2, a document that made sweeping changes to the national security power structure.

The new structure put Nixon at the center, surrounded by loyal aides and a new national security adviser, Henry Kissinger, who coordinated policy through the National Security Council under Nixon's command.

In doing so, Nixon sowed the seeds of his own destruction by creating a climate of secrecy, paranoia, and reprisal that still affects Washington today., After being sworn in as president, Richard Nixon told the assembled crowd that "government will listen. ...

    I made a mistake and should have waited to make my offer until I had researched all other sources for this title. I found a better copy of the audiobook and asked the seller to cancel my order. They did so immediately and issued a full refund along with a very pleasant personal message. This is the kind of people you run across from time to time on eBay. They make the platform work. THANK YOU!!! A+++++++
