I Gave Them a Sword

"I brought myself down. I gave them a sword, and they stuck it in and they twisted it with relish. And I guess if I had been in their position, I'd have done the same thing." - Richard M. NixonIn 1975, former U.S. President Richard Nixon - who had been driven from office the previous year by the Watergate scandal - made a business deal with British celebrity talk show host David Frost. Nixon agreed to be filmed by Frost for a series of "tell-us-what-happened" TV interviews. It would be the first time the American public would see and hear Nixon in a series of no-holds-barred TV interviews since resigning from office.This book tells the astounding story of how it all happened - what went on before and after the historic interviews took place.
