No historian today understands the Cold War White House better than Jefferson Morley. His decades of research into the Kennedy assassination, the intelligence agencies, and national security policy-making in the Vietnam era make him especially well equipped to untangle the complex of narratives, overlapping and conflicting, that comprise the Watergate scandal. Plumbing archival documents and other new evidence, Morley brings sensitivity and probity to his examination of the ill-fated Nixon-Helms relationship, and thereby makes Scorpions' Dance a must read for students of those tumultuous times. --James Rosen, Newsmax chief White House correspondent and author of The Strong Man: John Mitchell and the Secrets of Watergate Just when you think you've read everything there is to read about Watergate, along comes another analysis seen through a different lens. This is particularly true ofJefferson Morley's new book Scorpions' Dance: The President, the Spymaster, and Watergate. Mr. Morley's lens is the relationship between President Nixon and Richard Helms, CIA Director through all but a few months of the Nixon presidency and it reveals a number of unexploded hand grenades previously undiscovered. The central issue is whether these two men enabled each other. No doubt, there is still more to be learned. --Gary Hart United States Senator (Ret.) Jefferson Morley has written a fascinating account of the relationship between President Nixon and CIA Director Richard Helms. The book enriches our perspectives on Watergate while explaining how these two towering American Machiavelli's aided each other's corrupt ventures, to their own downfall and the disgrace of the high offices they held. It's a warning to the governing elite in any era. --Larry J. Sabato, author of The Kennedy Half-Century and A More Perfect Constitution A work that sheds new light on Watergate half a century after the fact. -- Kirkus
