I caught a fascinating talk by Mr. Shepard yesterday on C-SPAN 2's BOOK NOTES that features sometimes good discussions of non-fiction books. View here: http://www.c-span.org/video/?327683-1/g ... te-scandal The Watergate Judge John Serica and his anti-Nixon accomplices, mostly Democrats, some being Jews, are skewered as crooked, secret plotters who used illegal, criminal means to remove a sitting POTUS because they didn't like him.
Some Amazon reviews:

How wonderfully refreshing to read an account of Watergate that does not yet again re-crucify Mr. Nixon, but demands, with verifiable authority, that the whole subject be revisited under a different, more balanced spotlight. Mr. Shepard was "in the room" every bit as much as John Dean and others, yet emerges with a different viewpoint entirely.
Thank you, thank you, Mr. Shepard, for the research and effort you gave this topic, and for the complete fairness you afforded our past president. And thank you for putting your perspective down in ink before all the principals of Watergate have faded into silence. I have a strong sense that RN is giving his victory sign just about now.

Political Show Trials and all that implies
By WHJon
August 9, 2015
Watergate takes on a new meaning with Shepard's book. 'Watergate' now can be seen as part of a initiative to reverse an election by improper, highly questionable and unacceptable conduct, driven by a few very talented exceptionally trained people to reverse a popular election. It worked but should not have and would not have if what this author now reveals had been public at the time.
Shepard opens the door for future study of how our judicial system works, but does not. A 'must read' by all interested in political history who seek a better understanding of how criminal prosecution and investigation was misused to the detriment of the American People.

Watergate Turned Upside Down!
By Dean T. Hartwellon
August 24, 2015
I just read The Real Watergate Scandal by Geoff Shepard. A White House staff member for President Nixon, the author tells a story about Watergate rarely heard in the media or in books written about Watergate. That is one good reason to read this book.
Another good reason is his ability to pick apart the familiar arguments against Nixon. You will read of the "smoking gun" taped conversation between the President and top aide H.R. "Bob" Haldeman. I had always thought that Nixon agreed with Haldeman to get the CIA to interfere with an FBI investigation of the Watergate hotel break-in. The author provides factual support for belief that Nixon simply wanted to protect the identities of Democratic contributors to his campaign.
And the storied "18 1/2 minute" gap on another tape? There may not have been anything of interest on it (although I am still curious as to why it was intentionally erased).
If you still think John Dean is a "good guy" in this matter, give this book a read.
