Right hand held high, Richard M. Nixon was sworn into the office he had already betrayed. In the months before the 1968 election, Nixon and his allies--including the "Dragon Lady" Anna Chennault and Henry Kissinger--collaborated with foreign nationals to undermine Pres. Lyndon B. Johnson's Vietnam peace talks in order to curry public favor for Nixon and his secret plan to bring an end to the Vietnam War. Nixon's sabotage extended the brutal conflict, ultimately costing thousands of lives. This incisive account reveals the true Nixon and shakes the fundamental trust we place in our leaders.

Within a year of its construction in 1796, the Montauk Lighthouse was already attracting tourists to East Hampton.

The smaller East Hampton communities, such as Montauk, Amagansett, and Wainscott, also became favored locations for people escaping the heat of the cities, and they remain highly sought-after destinations today.
