The Last of the President's Men

Interviews with Alex Butterfield, the man who disclosed the Nixon tapes. I had never heard of Butterfield and it turns out he lives near me. It's pretty thin ... he was one of the few who knew about the tapes, he was almost not interviewed so the tapes may have never been disclosed ... but he was and he appears to be a man who holds a grudge, felt he was treated rudely by Nixon the day they first met ... so was that the motivation for the disclosure? It would have been good as a chapter in a more detailed Watergate or Nixon Presidency book but hard to make a full book over just this. Unless you are extremely interested in this particular segment of the story. But of course I love Woodward and the Post are why I majored in Journalism and I can't fault Woodward's writing or digging into the sources.
