Mr. Hersh writes: "The book had its beginnings in my experiences as a Washington reporter for the New York Times during Watergate." But even at the height of the outcry over the methods and the morality of the men at the top, foreign policy remained sacrosanct. I began my research certain that there was more to be known about the conduct of foreign affairs. I came to realize that even sophisticated public servants perceived something crucially different about the conduct of foreign policy in the Nixon White House. That difference and its cost to both the participants and the country is what I have tried to describe. Four years in the writing, based on more than 1,000 interviews and on extensive research in both published and unpublished sources. The Price of Power will forever alter the way we perceive the workings of our governement and will become part of the permanent history of our time.
