With a wealth of color about key days and decisions, the book shows what it is really like to be president." --WALTER ISAACSON, AUTHOR OF KISS1NGER" A BIOGRAPHY "A wealth of information that makes the absolute convincing case that Nixon was not just alone but isolated, walled off, and even lonely. May we never again have a presidenl so cut off from the rest of humanity. It is a haunting story that no reader will ever forget." --BOB WOODWARD, AUTHOR OF MAESTRO 内容推荐 Who was Richard Nixon? The most amazing thing about the man was not what he did as president, but that he became president at all. Using thousands of new interviews and recently discovered or declassified documents and tapes, Richard Reeves's President Nixon offers a surprising portrait of a brilliant and contradictory man. Even as he dreamed of presidential greatness, Nixon could trust no one. His closest aides spied on him as he spied on them, while cabinet members, generals, and admirals spied on all of them--rifling briefcases and desks, tapping each other's phones in a house where no one knew what was true anymore. Reeves shows a presidency doomed from the start by paranoia and corruption, beginning with Nixon and Kissinger using the CIA to cover up a murder by American soldiers in Vietnam that led to the theft and publication of the Pentagon Papers, then to secret counterintelligence units within the White House itself, and finally to the burglaries and cover-up that came to be known as Watergate. President Nixon is the astonishing story of a complex political animal who was as praised as he was reviled and who remains a subject of controversy to this day. 目录 Introduction Prologue: August 9, 1974 January 21, 1969 February 23, 1969 March 17, 1969 April 15, 1969 June 19, 1969 July 20,1969 August 8, 1969 October 15, 1969 December 8, 1969 January 22, 1970 April 8, 1970 April 30, 1970 May 4, 1970 June 30, 1970 September 23, 1970 November 3, 1970 December 31, 1970 March 29, 1971 June 12, 1971 June 30,1971 August 12, 1971 August 15, 1971 September 8, 1971 October 21, 1971 December 16, 1971 January 2, 1972 January 25, 1972 February 22, 1972 April 7, 1972 May 1, 1972 May 15, 1972 June 17, 1972 June 23, 1972 August 22, 1972 November 7, 1972 December 19, 1972 January 23, 1973 March 23, 1973 April 30, 1973 Epilogue Notes Bibliographic Essay Acknowledgments Index |
