Nixon in the White House: The Frustration of Power

The vast majority of primary source material in this book which is not available on the public record was obtained from interviews with public figures, most of them officials of the administration. These include some fifty conducted especially for this book, and hundreds of other interviews which were a routine part of the daily reporting for our column. Since all of these interviews were conducted on a confidential basis, any listing of complete source notes for the information in this book not contained in the public record would comprise a tedious series of interviews with anonymous sources. It goes without saying, then, that the following list of secondary sources by no means represents a comprehensive listing of sources.
