John Dean: Blind Ambition, Torture and the Abuses of Governmental Power in the wake of the Bush Administration (Meeting)
A Conversation and Book Signing with best-selling author, columnist, commentator on contemporary
politics and, most famously, White House Counsel to President Richard Nixon from 1970 to 1973 and the key government witness of the Watergate prosecution.
John Dean has closely followed the torture debates happening in Congress and throughout the country. His keen legal insights cut through the emotional argument and attack the core of the national debate - the constitutionality and legitimacy of the use of torture by the U.S.
Mr. Dean will also speak about the startling new revelations found in the re-release of his best-seller, Blind Ambition: The End of the Story. As Nixon apologists continue to rewrite the history of the Watergate break-in, Dean exposes new details that validate and clarify the truth of his original work.
Mr. Dean will also speak about the startling new revelations found in the re-release of his best-seller, "Blind Ambition: The End of the Story", which continues to hold relevance, especially in the wake of the Bush Administration, in its documentation of the abuses of governmental power.
