Inner circles
This book ended up growing on me most likely because its bulk is dedicated to my favorite topic: The Nixon Presidency. I really didn't like Haig at first with his fawning over MacArthur and his pooh-pooh'ing the seriousness of the Cuban Missile Crisis. I thought he was just writing through right-wing glasses. But from the Johnson Administration onwards, he got interesting. Of course, I was glued during his Nixon years, and I learned even more about Dick Nixon. Haig glazes over the Reagan years unfortunately, but mainly because he wrote another book about that time. Recommend for anyone interested in the presidency, foreign policy, or the history of the 60s and 70s.
