In The Last of the President’s Men, award-winning journalist and best-selling author Bob Woodward reveals the untold story of Alexander Butterfield, the Nixon aide who disclosed the secret White House taping system that led to Nixon’s resignation. This is the story of a mysterious relationship that changed history, told from the vantage point of someone who sat in the office adjacent to the most powerful man in the world.
Woodward’s fifth book on President Nixon completes the missing piece of the puzzle and seeks to answer the questions: Why would one of Nixon’s closest aides divulge a devastating secret, and what allowed Nixon to let this aide get so close?
Bob Woodward is an associate editor at The Washington Post, where he has worked for 44 years. He has shared in two Pulitzer Prizes, first for the Post’s coverage of the Watergate scandal with Carl Bernstein, and later for coverage of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
