À propos de cet audio

 From one of America's most talented historians and winner of a LA Times Book Prize comes a brilliant new account of Richard Nixon that reveals the riveting backstory to the red state/blue state resentments that divide our nation today.

Told with urgency and sharp political insight, Nixonland recaptures America's turbulent 1960s and early 1970s and reveals how Richard Nixon rose from the political grave to seize and hold the presidency.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"A richly detailed descent into the inferno - that is, the years when Richard Milhous Nixon, 'a serial collector of resentments,' ruled the land." ( Kirkus Reviews)

Loved the book, though I am a long follower of the crooked ways of Richard Milhous Nixon. I appreciated Perlman's commitment to also telling the story of the left, and twists and turns following Chicago 68.

Particularly for those who think of Nixon solely through the lens of Watergate, this is a useful corrective to show why he was someone at the centre of American politics for over a quarter century. Orthogonians continue to be a useful foil for the Franklin elite, and a powerful tool for understanding current populist appeals. Hence the reference to Prokiev's Romeo and Juliet.

A very good story, well told.

Another book that helps understand the man, Richard Nixon, and the so called turbulent 60s. Actually, the 60s were not as turbulent as they were manifestations of America itself - a divided nation. This has always been the case since the founding of the nation, and for better or worse, this will continue into the future.

A good history on the conservatism of the early 60

Reaganland was a brilliant, incisive study and this is as well. It's long but it never drags.

Lots and lots of stuff that I didn't know, even though I was in my 20s during Nixon's time as president. This has to be the definitive book on the anti-war movement and the author manages to keep up the interest even though the book is wicked long. I had no complaints about the narrator's pronunciation (sway-do for pseudo is kinda cute!). When you are used to someone spending a whole book mispronouncing Beijing, you can adapt to anything.

The book sounds like someone reading random headlines from a newspaper with some minor explanations thrown in occasionally. Maybe it’s better on paper. The Graf book on Watergate is way better.

Not a great title for audio
