Synopsis
After being sworn in as president, Richard Nixon told the assembled crowd that "government will listen. ... Those who have been left out, we will try to bring in." But that same day, he obliterated those pledges of greater citizen control of government by signing National Security Decision Memorandum 2, a document that made sweeping changes to the national security power structure. Nixon's signature erased the influence that the departments of State and Defense, as well as the CIA, had over Vietnam and the course of the Cold War. The new structure put Nixon at the center, surrounded by loyal aides and a new national security adviser, Henry Kissinger, who coordinated policy through the National Security Council under Nixon's command.

    I made a mistake and should have waited to make my offer until I had researched all other sources for this title. I found a better copy of the audiobook and asked the seller to cancel my order. They did so immediately and issued a full refund along with a very pleasant personal message. This is the kind of people you run across from time to time on eBay. They make the platform work. THANK YOU!!! A+++++++
