I'm looking for a few good books on Watergate
I've read and thoroughly enjoy All The President's Men by Woodward and Bernstein. I was looking for books that specifically dealt with the perpetrators connection with the Bay of Pigs.

1. 'Blind Ambition' by John Dean.
The insider's story. It's been a long long time since I read it, but: I remember it being great, can't remember how deeply he went into the Cuban connection.

3. Thanks for that suggestion.
I really enjoyed Dean's 'Worse Than Watergate' about the Bush administration, so I'm sure his book about Watergate must be very revealing.

2. "Breach of Faith" by Theodore White
Same as Richardo, I read it decades ago so I can't say if it addresses your particular interest.

4. Nixonland. Rick Pearlstein
I have Integrity: good people, bad choices on hold at the library. I saw Egil Krogh do a 3 hour power point presentation on the local university channel. It was so interesting it convinced me to read his book.

5. Blind Ambition....
is excellent. There was a TV movie made about it with Martin Sheen as John Dean.

6. Oh, thought I had a suggestion - but it was a documentary that
was nominated for an academy award recently - about Daniel Elsberg. Next time I go to Blockbuster I want to see if they have it.
