About the Book

The book is an insider's look at the internal working of the Nixon White House. It describes human and historic events that occurred at the Residence, Camp David, presidential retreats, and aboard Air Force One, the helicopters, and yacht Sequoia. The book covers a period of great historical significance, with trips to China and Russia, the end of the Vietnam War, and the Watergate break-in. With three days notice, the author reported to the White House for duty as the first Coast Guard Aide to the President. During his eighteen months as aide, he kept a diary of his White House experiences. Several books have been written about the Presidents and the White House, but few have been written by someone with the scope and familiarity of the president's activities, as his military aide. In particular, President Nixon's military aides were given great responsibility in coordinating the use of military resources. The aide also carried the briefcase, known as "the football". It contained documents for the President's use in responding to an attack or national emergency. The author was involved in the President's historic trips to China, Russia, and summit meetings with the leaders of France, Germany, Great Britain and Japan. During the hectic 1972 campaign, he did advance work for the President trips and traveled with him. For his last duty, he coordinated the military aspects of the inauguration for the White House Military Office.
