Come for the Nixon-bashing...

...stay for the rat-fucking!

No, really, that's what I'll remember long after the rest of the details of Nixonland have faded from memory: rat-fucking. It doesn't mean what you think it means, it means something so much better, and it's awesome

I finished the book! Woo!

I have that book on my TBR pile. Recommended then, I guess?

Oh, definitely. It reads almost like a novel, though it's densely packed and took me forever to get through. The author seemed not to want to leave anything out--so everything got some space. As a result, it feels like a comprehensive analysis of the times as much as Nixon himself. And as the mirror of today's events, it's a scary read.
