@90@@2@@31@An enhanced edition of this @11@huge, fascinating@11@ (San Francisco Chronicle) collection of transcripts, including over a dozen audio clips of some of the most newsworthy and jaw-dropping conversations.@32@@3@@2@President Nixon@12@s voice-activated taping system captured every word spoken in the Oval Office, Cabinet Room, and other key locations in the White House, and at Camp David @95@mdash; 3,700 hours of recordings between 1971 and 1973. Yet less than 5 percent of those conversations have ever been transcribed and published. Now, thanks to professor Luke Nichter@12@s massive effort to digitize and transcribe the tapes, the world can finally read an unprecedented account of one of the most important and controversial presidencies in U.S. history.@3@@2@@28@The Nixon Tapes@018@,@95@#160;with annotations and commentary@95@#160;by Nichter and Professor Douglas Brinkley,@95@#160;offers a selection of fascinating scenes from the year Nixon opened relations with China, negotiated the SALT I arms agreement with the Soviet Union, and won a landslide reelection victory. All the while, the growing shadow of Watergate and Nixon@12@s political downfall crept ever closer. @18@The Nixon Tapes@19@ provides a unique glimpse into a flawed president@12@s hubris, paranoia, and political genius.@3@@91@
