Since today is President's Day, I guess it's only fitting that I completed the book, Very Strange Bedfellows - The Short and Unhappy Marriage of Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew. While some of the information came from the principals themselves, as well as the books by Nixon's chief lieutenants, H.R. "Bob" Haldeman and John Ehrlichman, the infamous Watergate tapes played a huge role.
These tapes didn't just divulge information about Watergate, but also the relationship between Nixon and Agnew and Nixon's great admiration for former Texas governor, John Connelly, whom Nixon hoped would one day be president.
This was the first time I had read an accounting of the Nixon-Agnew relationship and found it to be both enlightening and educational. It contains extensive notes and bibliography.
