      abstract = {Author Werth takes readers inside the White House during  the tumultuous days following Nixon's resignation and the  swearing-in of Gerald Ford. Watergate had torn the country  apart. Within the White House and the Republican Party,  Nixon's resignation produced new fissures and battle  lines--and new opportunities for political advancement.  Ford had to reassure the nation and the world that he would  attend to the pressing issues of the day, and within hours  of Nixon's departure, Ford began the all-important task of  forming an inner circle of trusted advisers. Werth  describes the often vicious sparring among two mutually  distrustful staffs--Nixon's and Ford's vice presidential  holdovers--and a transition team that included Donald  Rumsfeld (then Nixon's ambassador to NATO) and Rumsfeld's  former deputy, the 33-year-old coolly efficient Richard  Cheney. The first detailed account of the maneuvering  behind everything from the pardon of Nixon to the rise of a  new cadre of Republican movers and shakers.--From publisher  description.},
