Richard Nixon: The Life by John A. Farrell
5.0
With new writings from H.R. Haldeman, John Dean, and Alexander Haig, "Richard Nixon: The Life" fully justifies both its existence and its status as the definitive Nixon biography. John A. Farrell manages to humanize and empathize with his subject without absolving him, and the resulting psychological and political portraits are fascinating. I was especially interested in the newly uncovered information on Anna Chenault.
Farrell didn't know who would be president in 2017 when he published this biography, but the fact it's another media-bashing, self-pitying man who plays on populist resentment makes this interesting book even more relevant. I can't say enough positive things!
