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. 000310648 60010 $$aFord, Gerald R.,$$d1913-2006. 000310648 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xPolitics and government$$y1974-1977. 000310648 85200 $$bgen$$hE865$$i.W47$$i2006 000310648 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0625/2005053877-b.html 000310648 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0625/2005053877-d.html 000310648 85641 $$3Sample text$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0643/2005053877-s.html 000310648 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:310648$$pGLOBAL_SET 000310648 980__ $$aBIB 000310648 980__ $$aBOOK 000310648 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
