It was 47 years ago today that embattled Richard Nixon resigned the presidency due to the scandals collectively known as Watergate. In Michael Dobbs’ brilliant new book, “King Richard: Nixon and Watergate: An American Tragedy”, one of our best historians dissects the six months after Nixon’s re-election and details how a man who won 49 states in 1972 resigned less than two years later. Michael comes on the “Leaders and Legends” podcast to discuss one of our country’s most bizarre and enduring episodes.

Abraham Lincoln gets most of the attention given for political and governmental leadership during the American Civil War and deservedly so. The role of Congress during the war, however, is a compelling story in its own right. Historian Fergus Bordewich has written a book, “Congress At War”, that details the efforts of the House and Senate that worked both in concert and at odds with President Lincoln.  He discusses this terrific literary effort on this week's “Leaders and Legends” podcast.
