Files reveal extent of Nixon's secrets and lies on war in Cambodia

EVEN after Richard Nixon's secret war in Cambodia became known, the president persisted in deception, according to newly-declassified US government documents.

"Publicly, we say one thing," he told aides. "Actually, we do another."

The documents from the Nixon years shed light on the Vietnam War, the struggle with the Soviet Union for global influence and a president who tried not to let public and congressional opinion get in his way.
