An account of the thirty-seventh presidency sets Nixon's administration against a backdrop of the tumultuous civil rights movement while offering insight into how key events in the 1960s set the stage for today's political divides, in a chronicle that documents such events as the Watts riots and Nixon's landslide reelection. 60,000 first printing.
Review:
"A solid work of political history, if necessarily long and grim in the telling."
Kirkus Reviews, 03/01/2008
Review:"NIXONLAND reads marvelously. Perlstein has the rare gift of being able to weave social, political, and cultural history into a single seamless narrative, linking backroom political negotiations to suburban protests over sex education in schools to the premiere of BONNIE AND CLYDE. "
Ross Douthat, Atlantic Monthly, 05/01/2008

Book Description: Scribner 2008-05-13, 2008. Hardcover. Book Condition: Brand New. Brand new. Never read or owned. May have a remainder mark. 896 Pages. 9.40 in l x 6.40 in w x 2.00 in h. 2.45 lb. NIXONLAND begins in the blood and fire of the Watts riots - one week after President Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act, and nine months after his historic landslide victory over Barry Goldwater seemed to have heralded a permanent liberal consensus. The next year scores of liberals were thrown out of Congress, America was more divided than ever, and a disgraced politician was on his way to a shocking comeback: Richard Nixon. Six years later, President Nixon, harvesting the bitterness and resentment borne of that blood and fire, was re-elected in a landslide even bigger than Johnson's, and the outlines of today's US politics of red-and-blue division became distinct. -- Product Description.
