If you have never read the book "In the Arena" by President Richard Nixon let me assure you that it is a must read book. It was the most personal of his books and it is written farther down the road from his Presidency than his Memoirs were and therefore provides a lot more perspective on the events that ended his Presidency. 

Late into the process of putting this series together I was given the cassette audiobook of "In the Arena" and I went through to find the sections the President read personally on the Watergate Scandal. They are, I thought, the best defense available coming directly from the former President himself. 

So in this episode we let President Nixon address the many myths of Watergate, in person, in his own words, narrated personally. It is a fascinating tape to listen too for anyone who has studied Watergate. Also we read a section from the book "The Nixon Tapes"  by the premier historians on the subject of Richard Nixon, as they lay out their thoughts on why a trial of Richard Nixon would certainly have never happened.
