History, Watergate and Frost/Nixon

The New York Times: Has an interesting article on a scholarly debate about the Watergate Tapes of Richard Nixon. There is nothing like a fight between historians, politicians think they hold grudges, its nothing when it comes to Historians, as readers of this blog might notice my views of the Liberal New York Times is not great, well there is a caveat to that, their reporting from Afghanistan and Pakistan is great; because we both agree on the Issue. When it comes to history have just finished Frost/Nixon by David Frost with Bob Zelnick, excellent background to the Frost/Nixon interviews and the Interviews themselves. Also has great Transcripts of the Interviews. If you seen the great Play Frost/Nixon and are waiting to see the Film by Ron Howard, would be worth the time to read this book, will place the interviews in their context when you watch the film.
