Gettlin, is co-author of Silent Coup: The Removal of a President, the groundbreaking national bestseller that uncovered historic and startling new information and perspectives on the Watergate scandal. The book’s impact was profound, securing a 12-week presence on The New York Times bestseller list in 1991 and featured on other prominent national charts.
