The Nixon Defense
Based on Nixon’s overlooked recordings, New York Times bestselling author John W. Dean connects the dots between what we’ve come to believe about Watergate and what actually happened Watergate forever changed American politics, and in light of the revelations about the NSA’s widespread surveillance program, the scandal has taken on new significance. Yet remarkably, four decades after Nixon was forced to resign, no one has told the full story of his involvement in Watergate. In The Nixon Defense, former White House Counsel John W. Dean, one of the last major surviving figures of Watergate, draws on his own transcripts of almost a thousand conversations, a wealth of Nixon’s secretly re...
Conservatives Without Conscience
On the heels of his national bestseller Worse Than Watergate, John Dean takes a critical look at the current conservative movement In Conservatives Without Conscience, John Dean places the conservative movement's inner circle of leaders in the Republican Party under scrutiny. Dean finds their policies and mind- set to be fundamentally authoritarian, and as such, a danger to democracy. By examining the legacies of such old-line conservatives as J. Edgar Hoover, Spiro Agnew, and Phyllis Schlafly and of such current figures as Dick Cheney, Newt Gingrich, and leaders of the Religious Right, Dean presents an alarming record of abuses of power. His trenchant analysis of how conservatism has lost its bearings serves as a chilling warning and a stirring inspiration to safeguard constitutional principles.

John E. Dean Letters to Family
The collection consists of eight letters that John E. Dean wrote to his parents while he was serving in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II. These include letters that Dean sent while in training near Fresno, California, and while stationed in New Guinea. One letter, dated December 20, 1944, includes Dean's impressions of New Guinea's climate and landscape. Another letter, dated January 21, 1945, has a small piece that was cut out by censors because Dean named the specific island that he was stationed on. This same letter contains remarks about there being no war souvenirs that Dean can practically send back to the United States. The collection also contains two envelopes addressed to Dean's mother, Marjorie C. Dean (written as "Mrs. Ray A. Dean,") though their postmarks indicate that they were used to send letters other than the ones in the collection.
Authoritarian Nightmare
How did America end up with a leader who acts so crudely and despotically, and counter to our democratic principles? Why do his followers stick with him, even when he acts against their own interests? To fully understand, John Dean, a man with a history of standing up to autocratic presidents, joined with Bob Altemeyer, a professor of psychology with a unique area of expertise: Authoritarianism. Relying on social science findings and psychological diagnostic tools (such as the "Power Mad Scale" and the "Con Man Scale"), as well as research and analysis from the Monmouth University Polling Institute (one of America's most respected public opinion research foundations), the authors provide us with an eye-opening understanding of the Trump phenomenon — and how we may be able to stop it.
