In January of 1973 Richard Nixon announced the end of the Vietnam War and prepared for a triumphant second term - until televised Watergate hearings revealed his White House as little better than a mafia den. The next president declared upon Nixon’s resignation “our long national nightmare is over” - but then congressional investigators exposed the CIA for assassinating foreign leaders. The collapse of the South Vietnamese government rendered moot the sacrifice of some 58,000 American lives.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 9
Over two decades, Rick Perlstein has published three definitive works about the emerging dominance of conservatism in modern American politics. With the saga's final installment, he has delivered yet another stunning literary and historical achievement. In late 1976, Ronald Reagan was dismissed as a man without a political future: defeated in his nomination bid against a sitting president of his own party, blamed for President Gerald Ford's defeat, too old to make another run.

With the Soviet Union extinct, Saddam Hussein defeated, and U.S. power at its zenith, the early 1990s promised a “kinder, gentler America.” Instead, it was a period of rising anger and domestic turmoil, anticipating the polarization and resurgent extremism we know today. In When the Clock Broke, the acclaimed political writer John Ganz tells the story of America’s late-century discontents.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 15
Acclaimed historian Rick Perlstein chronicles the rise of the conservative movement in the liberal 1960s. At the heart of the story is Barry Goldwater, the renegade Republican from Arizona who loathed federal government, despised liberals, and mocked "peaceful coexistence" with the USSR. Perlstein's narrative shines a light on a whole world of conservatives and their antagonists, including William F. Buckley, Nelson Rockefeller, and Bill Moyers. Vividly written, Before the Storm is an essential book about the 1960s.

Traditionally, Americans learned in school that the ancestors of the people who inhabited the Western Hemisphere at the time of Columbus' landing had crossed the Bering Strait 12,000 years ago; existed mainly in small nomadic bands; and lived so lightly on the land that the Americas were, for all practical purposes, still a vast wilderness. But as Charles C. Mann now makes clear, archaeologists and anthropologists have spent the last 30 years proving these and many other long-held assumptions wrong.

Dance of the Knights (Franklins and Orthogonians)
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.

A good history on the conservatism of the early 60
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.

The Vietnam anti-war movement and Nixon
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.

Not a great title for audio
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.
