The Arrogance of Power: The Secret World of Richard Nixon
Although not scandal, Summers' final product is
, if nothing else, racily relentless and throughly negative. Through it all, we get more of Nixon's alleged misbehaviors and unethical and illegal acts than a truly defining psycho-profile of this truly dark even scary figure. This isn't to say that Summers' work isn't a contribution to the continuing Nixon saga. It is. If nothing else, Summers' "challenge" to other writers might be to throttle them out of 1974 and for most Nixon commentators, if not all, it still is and always will be 1974 to probe the man capable of orchestrating the alleged events that Summers lays out in this book.
