Nixonland: The Rise of a President and the Fracturing of America by Rick Perlstein

challenging informative slow-paced

3.5

An exhaustive account of the collapse of the New Deal Coalition and emergence of the culture war that we’re still fighting today. I feel like I’ve taken a graduate-level course on the era. But Perlstein is a little to obsessed with details, a little to callous when writing about death, and a over-reliant on a few turns of phrase (I wish I counted how many times “nut-cutter” was used).
