When Alabama Governor and Democratic candidate George Wallace was shot on the campaign trail, the assassination attempt so rattled the White House that President Richard Nixon hatched a criminal scheme to derail Wallace’s surging political momentum and embarrass the Democratic Party. With never before heard Nixon White House audio, Long Shots uncovers a little-known criminal conspiracy hatched in the Oval Office a month before the bungled break-in at the Watergate Hotel.
