Quote by Bob Woodward
After Nixon resigned in 1974, he engaged in a very aggressive war with history, attempting to wipe out the Watergate stain and memory. Happily, history won, largely because of Nixon's tapes.
Summary
This quote suggests that Richard Nixon, after resigning from his presidency in 1974 following the Watergate scandal, made great efforts to erase any negative legacy associated with himself. However, despite his attempts, history ultimately prevailed, thanks in large part to the existence of Nixon's recorded conversations, known as the Nixon tapes. These tapes, which revealed incriminating evidence against him, prevented him from completely escaping the shadow of the Watergate scandal and ensured that history would accurately remember Nixon's actions during that period.
