The President's Man: The Memoirs of Nixon's Trusted Aide

An inside look at President Richard Nixon’s administration and epic trips to China and Russia, as well as his incredible Watergate downfall, by the man who was at his side for a decade as his aide and White House Deputy.

From Richard Nixon’s “You-won’t-have-Nixon-to-kick-around-anymore” 1962 gubernatorial campaign through his world-changing trips to China and the Soviet Union and epic downfall, Dwight Chapin was by his side. As his personal aide and then Deputy Assistant in the White House Chapin was with him in his most private and most public moments. He traveled with him, assisted, advised, strategized, campaigned and learned from America’s most controversial president. As Bob Haldeman’s protege, Chapin worked with Henry Kissinger in opening China—then eventually went to prison for Watergate although he had no involvement in it.
