“History does not repeat itself, but it rhymes. Maddow has a talent for resurrecting the dark chapters of the past and turning history into enlightening and entertaining fare that prompts us to think about the present. In 2018, she produced a documentary called Betrayal: The Plot That Won the White House, which showed how Richard Nixon secretly schemed to sabotage Vietnam peace talks in order to win the 1968 election. It was a well-executed chronicling of one of the great acts of political perfidy.”
