NIXON is a raw, clear-eyed biography of the most paranoid, brilliant, calculating, and self-destructive president in American history. Richard Nixon didn’t fall from grace. He built the fall himself. Room by room, tape by tape, play by play. He came from nothing, rose through Cold War paranoia, clawed his way into the White House, and rewired the entire presidency in his own image.
