520    Nixon left the White House in 1974 as our most disgraced 
       president, but the American people never knew the full 
       extent of his demons, deceptions, paranoia, prejudices, 
       hatreds, and chicanery -- until now. 
520    A veteran White House reporter reveals our 37th president 
       was even more sinister and haunted than we knew. Richard 
       Nixon left the White House in 1974 as our most disgraced 
       president, but the American people never knew the full 
       extent of his demons, deceptions, paranoia, prejudices, 
       hatreds, and chicanery. Calling on his work in covering 
       Nixon, scores of interviews with members of Congress, 
       White House staffers, and others close to our nation?s 
       thirty-seventh president, and invaluable, newly 
       declassified documents and recordings, veteran journalist 
       Don Fulsom sheds new light on ?Tricky Dick.? The author?s 
       revelations include: 1. That the future president 
       sabotaged the 1968 peace talks for political gain 2. By 
       the time Nixon became president in 1969, he had linked to 
       the mob for more than two decades and, as president, had a
       close connection with New Orleans boss Carlos Marcello, 
       the most powerful Mafioso in the nation 3. The president 
       had a drinking problem and top aides referred to him as 
       "Our Drunk" Nixon had a misogynist streak and was abusive 
       toward first lady Pat Nixon 4. The intimate and possibly 
       homosexual nature of Nixon's relationship with confidante 
       Charles "Bebe" Rebozo, a banker with mob ties 5. Testimony
       alleging that the president had ordered the killing of 
       White House reporter Jack Anderson 6. Fulsom?s examination
       of these and other startling aspects of Nixon?s personal 
       and political dimensions paint an unflinching portrait of 
       a leader who was once the most powerful man in the world. 
       Nixon?s Darkest Secrets provides a chilling final chapter 
       in literature on our most troubled president.--publisher's
