In riveting, tick-tock prose, Weiner illuminates how the Vietnam War and the Watergate controversy that brought about Nixon's demise were inextricably linked. From the hail of garbage and curses that awaited Nixon upon his arrival at the White House, when he became the president of a nation as deeply divided as it had been since the end of the Civil War, to the unprecedented action Nixon took against American citizens, who he considered as traitorous as the army of North Vietnam, to the infamous break-in and the tapes that bear remarkable record of the most intimate and damning conversations between the president and his confidantes, Weiner narrates the history of Nixon's anguished presidency in fascinating and fresh detail. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A crucial new look at the greatest political suicide in history, \u003ci\u003eOne Man Against the World\u003c\/i\u003e leaves us not only with new insight into this tumultuous period, but also into the motivations and demons of an American president who saw enemies everywhere, and, thinking the world was against him, undermined the foundations of the country he had hoped to lead.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTim Weiner is the author of five books. \u003ci\u003eLegacy of Ashes\u003c\/i\u003e, his history of the CIA, won the National Book Award.
