Haig always had a dramatic flair. In one interview in the 1970’s he said as Nixon's last chief of staff he was in constant contact with the Pentagon in case Nixon flipped out and decided to do something irrational like calling in an air strike on Detroit. Nixon's wide-ranging accomplishment's dwarf most other presidents.

I’m trying to recall what the book “Silent Coup” had to say about Haig. As I recall it was not good. I believe he was one of the ones in the running for being “Deep Throat”. Or, one of the sources that was compiled into one and named “Deep Throat”.
Lots of power struggles back then between Nixon and the Pentagon.
