The final days

Book • 1987
This book chronicles the tumultuous final months of Richard Nixon's presidency, from the departures of Bob Haldeman and John Ehrlichman in April 1973 to Nixon's resignation on August 9, 1974.

Woodward and Bernstein provide a gripping narrative based on first-hand accounts from participants, detailing the internal struggles within the White House, the legal battles, and the psychological strain on Nixon as the Watergate scandal unfolded.

The authors highlight the conflicts among Nixon's staff, the role of key figures like General Alexander Haig and Henry Kissinger, and the eventual collapse of Nixon's defense against impeachment.
