Preview:
The Last of the President's Men is a nonfiction work about Alexander Butterfield, an aide in the White House during President Richard Nixon's first administration, written by Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Bob Woodward. This is the fifth book Woodward has written about the Watergate scandal.
In 1968, Colonel Alexander Butterfield was an officer in the US Air Force stationed in Australia. Previously he served in Vietnam where he flew 98 combat reconnaissance missions, and before that he served as a liaison to the Johnson Administration for the Office of the Secretary of Defense. Butterfield was a highly respected officer, on track to becoming a four-star general and possibly more. However, in order to advance, he was convinced he needed to be closer to the most important military action of the day, Vietnam, not stuck in Australia.

Interesting Read About Watergate Players
Instareads are a modern day Cliff Notes. It's been a long time since I've read any Cliff Notes, but I remember them being a bit difficult to get through and it definitely took more than 15 minutes. This Instaread which summaries The Last of the President's Men by Bob Woodward focuses on Alexander Butterfield who was a presidential aide during Nixon's first presidential term. I am familiar with Watergate and many of the players, but Butterfield was new to me. The summary & analysis described Butterfield and his job in the White House and how he was a participant in the Watergate scene. I found it to be interesting and well written. I'm a busy person, so I don't know if I will take the time to read the full book, but I do feel that I've had a good history lesson by reading this.
*I received this for free for the purpose of trying out & reviewing. My thoughts & opinions are my own.
~~ Life and exposure as Nixon's aide ~~
Who is the main focus of the original book? Alexander Butterfield, an aide to Richard Nixon. Butterfield left his military career in the US Navy in order to become an aide. As he got to know Nixon, he discovered how unpleasant he could be so although the two worked closely together they never had a bond like many other president's aides. He played a big part in exposing Nixon's hand in the Watergate scandal. In this Instaread summary (think DETAILED review) the reader is presented with an overview of the book right off the bat. This is then followed by bios and character analysis of the three main players: Richard Nixon, Bob Haldeman and Alexander Butterfield.
What are the main themes running through the original? Ambition, corruption, deception, honesty, revenge, citizenship, surveillance and historical records.
Instaread describes the original as written in a "clear, straightforward, journalistic style".
