Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0887020682, Paperback)

At the heart of Thornton's examination lies the assessment of how Kissinger was able to move the United States away from Nixon's traditional containment policy to "tri-lateralism" and greater dependence on coliective security organizations. Thornton also argues that Watergate was a 'set-up' by John Mitchell and members of the Eastern wing of the Republican party to compromise Nixon.
