Tricky Dick Nixon's Dirty Trickster

Tricky Dick Nixon's Dirty Trickster deals with the acts, many criminal, Donald Segretti and his large network of agents conducted on the behalf of the Nixon campaign in 1972. It also recounts Segretti's associations with others involved in pro-Nixon dirty tricks. Among Segretti's associates were John Dean and G. Gordon Liddy. Both Dean and Liddy became famous - and went to jail - because of their involvement in the Watergate break-in and the subsequent cover-up of that burglary. The author interviewed Segretti several times about his dirty tricks enterprise and gleaned firsthand information about the operation from its leader. Though brief, the book is comprehensive in detailing Segretti's covert operation; what it accomplished; and its lasting effects on American.
