Blind Ambition: The White House Years

Blind Ambition: The White House Years

A six-month New York Times bestseller: â€œNot only the best Watergate book, but a very good book indeedâ€ (The Sunday Times).

As White House counsel to Richard Nixon, a young John W. Dean was one of the primary players in the Watergate scandalâ€”and ultimately became the governmentâ€™s key witness in the investigations that ended the Nixon presidency. After the scandal subsided, Dean rebuilt his career, first in business and then as a bestselling author and lecturer. But while the events were still fresh in his mind, he wrote this remarkable memoir about the operations of the Nixon White House and the crisis that led to the presidentâ€™s resignation.
Â
Called â€œfascinatingâ€ by Commentary, which noted that â€œthere can be little doubt of [Dean's] memory or his candor,â€ Blind Ambition offers an insiderâ€™s view of the deceptions and machinations that brought down an administration and changed the American peopleâ€™s view of politics and power. It also contains Deanâ€™s own unsparing reflections on the personal demons that drove him to participate in the sordid affair. Upon its original publication, Kirkus Reviews hailed it â€œthe flip side of All the Presidentâ€™s Menâ€”a document, a minefield, and prime entertainment.â€
Â
Today, Dean is a respected and outspoken advocate for transparency and ethics in government, and the bestselling author of such books as The Nixon Defense, Worse Than Watergate, and Conservatives Without Conscience. Here, in Blind Ambition, he â€œpaints a candid picture of the sickening moral bankruptcy which permeated the White House and to which he contributed. His memory of who said what and to whom is astoundingâ€ (Foreign Affairs).
