This is a true story of betrayal at the nation's highest level. Unfolding with the suspenseful pace of a le Carre' spy thriller, it reveals the personal motives and secret political goals that combined to cause the Watergate break-in and destroy Richard Nixon. Investigator Len Colodny and journalist Robert Gettlin relentlessly pursued the people who brought down the president. Their revelations shocked the world and changed our understanding of politics, of journalism, and of Washington behind closed doors. Dismantling 20 years of lies, SILENT COUP tell the truth.
