Since he left the White House in disgrace in 1974, Richard Nixon has remained in silent exile in San Clemente, California.
Now, in a series of major interviews with David Frost , Richard Nixon speaks for the first time in public about the achievements, as well as the defeats and humiliations of his time as President.
In the course of four special programmes starting tonight, he will give his version of the Watergate story that brought his downfall, and the charges that he created an 'Imperial Presidency' in which power was abused. Nixon will also talk about the war he inherited, and the peace he made, and his 'final days' in the White House.
