Naturally, the library painted a fairly rosy picture of the man, but also took no pains to hide Watergate. So, I wondered, if the man was so “good” why was he also so self destructive? My library didn’t have much to offer. I picked up this book. It was very informative, yes. However, the author was somewhat contradictory on some points and VERY opinionated. Take this line in the last chapter. “We know he would not have used the tapes honestly.” Ok, you can extrapolate from past behavior, but should a biographer insert their opinion like that? There were several instances of opinionating besides this. That’s why I rated the book so low.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-12-16 00:00:00 Ross Lam I often tell my students that if Abraham Lincoln had to come before a jury and defend his life, much like Albert Brooks in the movie of the same title, he would have nothing to be ashamed of. If Richard Nixon had to endure the same test...I don't think he would come out so well,
