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

4.0

A prophetic book on politics in America. I think when most people hear Nixon, they think of the president who did Watergate. This book makes the case we should think of the Nixon as the one that left us in the state of polar opposite. I recommend Nixonland to anyone who has any interest whatsoever in the 1960s because it’s not really a biography about President Richard Nixon but a biography of America then and now. Great story telling through the times, if not slow at parts.

Sometimes I wish the author would trust in the reader to get the point, but overall an amazing read. I’d waste multiple months on it again
