⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really interesting look at the politics and sociology of the Nixon era. In previous biographies and Watergate books I‘ve read there‘s some sympathy for him as an awkward outsider. Not here. Perlstein goes all in on the vicious tactics he used to get and keep political power (like prolonging the Vietnam war to help his election 🙃). Looking forward to more Perlstein, but this was a #chunkster at 881 pgs, so maybe after a break…

Nixon did a lot of shady things, but this impeachment focused on agency abuse and obstruction of justice. #nixon #richardnixon #impeachment #timothynaftali politics #ushistory #uspresidency #history #politicalscience

Full disclosure: I don‘t actually remember much from this specific book vs. the other Watergate era books I‘ve read, but according to Goodreads, this was the book I liked most from February! #12Booksof2023 @Andrew65

Andrew65 It‘s amazing how much doesn‘t stay on our heads when we read a lot of books. 10mo

Bk1 of #WinterGames & #20in4 #readathon was finished Sunday. Sorry I haven‘t posted till now, we‘ve had a bad start to December here. I have read a few books still. This NF is one I‘ve wanted to read for years, Watergate is fascinating. Written by the two journalists who persevered with the story even under pressure from government agencies who just wanted the incident to go away. Nixon & Trump have a lot in common! #TeamEvergreen #4866pts 👇

Andrew65 Sorry to hear that, sending best wishes ❤️ Have you seen the film? 11mo
Bookwormjillk I hope December gets better! 11mo

Lizpixie @andrew65 thanks lovely. It‘s been pretty crappy both healthwise & familywise, fingers crossed things change before Xmas🤞Yes, I love the movie! Just did a rewatch before listening to the audiobook. Those guys were real journalists, backed up by a reputable paper that actually had their backs. Very impressed by them, totally disgusted with Nixon & his gang of merry hatchet men #IAmNotACrook✌️ 11mo
Lizpixie @Bookwormjillk thank you! I hope so too❤️ @CatLass007 oh he was dragged out kicking & screaming all the way, don‘t worry. AFTER throwing everyone who helped, conspired & believed in him under the bus first. He‘s just lucky that some of the international leaders he clandestinely recorded didn‘t retaliate honestly. I highly recommend reading this, what he (almost)got away with is insane! 11mo
Bookwormjillk Also I really liked 11mo
CatLass007 I remember watching him give his resignation speech live on television. I know he would like to have stayed in power but he wasn‘t completely tone deaf about what would happen if he didn‘t resign. He thought he could get away with the things he did but he eventually realized that resigning was the best thing for him. I‘m sure he was given guarantees that Gerald Ford would pardon him. 11mo
Lizpixie @Bookwormjillk thanks for the recce! Another book on my overstuffed TBR 🫣It sounds brilliant.👍 11mo
Lizpixie @CatLass007 I was only two years old when this happened so no firsthand memories for me! But even here in Australia, Nixon was taught in school & documentaries were on tv plus the fabulous movie with Redford & Hoffman. Watergate has always been a moment in history that fascinated me but even so this book has a lot of behind the scenes bad behaviour that was new. The recent mini series Gaslit with Julia Roberts I highly recommend as well👍 11mo
dabbe I have read this numerous times, and I still learn something new every time I read it! 🤩😍😃 11mo
