<DIV><B><I>New York Times</I></B><B> Bestseller: A &ldquo;superb&rdquo; blow-by-blow account of how Tip O&rsquo;Neill and his colleagues impeached Richard Nixon after Watergate (<I>Chicago Tribune</I>).</B><BR /><BR /> Not long after burglars were caught raiding the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate Hotel, Congressman Tip O&rsquo;Neill noticed that Democratic fundraising efforts for the 1972 election had stalled. Major contributors were under IRS investigation, and Republican lackeys were threatening further trouble if those donors didn&rsquo;t close their checkbooks. O&rsquo;Neill sensed a conspiracy coming from the Nixon administration, but it wasn&rsquo;t until the scandal broke that he connected the threatened donors with the Watergate burglary. In the boldest move of his career, he did something that would shock the nation: O&rsquo;Neill decided to impeach the President.</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV><DIV>To his fellow members of the House of Representatives, this was an ugly idea. But as evidence mounted against Nixon and his cronies, O&rsquo;Neill led the charge against the President. This blow-by-blow, conviction-by-conviction account is a gripping reminder of how O&rsquo;Neill and his colleagues brought justice to those who abused their power, and revived America after the greatest political scandal in its history.</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV><DIV><I>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Jimmy Breslin including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author&rsquo;s personal collection.</I></DIV>
