Whether you're a novice of poetry or the next "Great One," you'll connect with these poems by Dunn. Not only is he truly a master of the language in free verse form, but also a master of bringing any subject matter to life. He has an understanding beyond what many poets often do, but at the same time he communicates this understanding through very accessible and clear writing. I am always ...             Wars Of Watergate, The: The Last Crisis of Richard Nixon11 reviews Stanley I. Kutler Knopf, 1990 One spring, one well If your goal is to understand the depth of Richard Nixon's involvement in the Watergate scandal, Stanley Kutler's `The Wars of Watergate' is the book for it. It's a great introduction to Watergate without that qualifying caveat, of course, but Kutler perches his narrative squarely on Nixon's shoulder. This book doesn't take extended side trips to the creation of the Plumbers, to that dirty ...             The Nixon Years 1969-1974: White House to Watergate1 review Tom Wicker Abbeville Press, 1999 Inside the nixon white house A very insider's view of the nixon white. the photographers' access is unlike any other's and the text accompanying each photoe reveals the photographers innermost thoughts of his subjects. this is an excellent photo book.             Articles, Interviews, and Book Excerpts (1976-2000) on Richard Nixon's Legacy (Studies in American History, ...1 review Edwin Mellen Press, 2003 Scrutinizes the lasting impact of the Nixon presidency Compiled, organized and edited by Russ Witcher (Assistant Professor of Journalism, Tennessee Tech University), Articles, Interviews, And Book Excerpts (1976-2000) On Richard Nixon's Legacy is a series of articles drawn from magazines such as "Time," "Newsweek," "U.S. News & World Report," and others, arranged in date ranging from the late 1970's to 2000.

It is an extensive examination of the entire Watergate episode based on interviews with the relevant participants (excluding Nixon and Mitchell). In fact, Emery was one of the last people to interview Bob Haldeman before he died in 1993. If you don't believe what Emery writes or what Nixon's ...             Speaking in Tongues: Selected Poems, 1974-19943 reviews Charles Ghigna Livingston Press (AL), 1994 Well crafted; broad range I highly recommend this book. It is divided into sections that reveal a broad range of style and subject. Readers who delight in word play will particulary enjoy the poems on the circus and on authors. My favorite section is the one on Howard, an ambitious series of poems on an enigmatic schoolmate named Howard. "When Howard Became Jesus" will send a tingle down your spine.

Brooks Flippen University of New Mexico Press, 2000 Review from "H-Net" Reviews "All politics is a fad," President Richard Nixon informed the president of the Sierra Club in the spring of 1970. "Your fad is going right now. Get what you can and here is what I can get you" (p. 102). Despite this characteristic cynical approach or maybe because of it, Nixon approved of or signed off on more important environmental legislation than any other president in history. How this came ...             Crazy Rhythm: My Journey from Brooklyn, Jazz, and Wall Street to Nixon's White House, Watergate, and Beyond...2 reviews Leonard Garment Times Books, 1997 Not Just Another Nixon Book... I was enticed by this book from the moment I read about Garment's lively performance of "Tiptoe through the Tulips" at age 7 in his father's dress making factory. Having read several Watergate books, I felt that this one was different for one specific reason; Garment makes Nixon into a human being, and helps to bring Nixon's several positive qualities to life (such as his wonderful foreign ...             The Vietnam War Files: Uncovering the Secret History of Nixon Era Strategy (Modern War Studies)4 reviews Jeffrey Kimball University Press of Kansas, 2003 New evidence Kimball's Vietnam War Files is a followup book to his award-winning Nixon's Vietnam War (1998).

White Scribner, 1975 Breach of Faith "The true crime of Richard Nixon was simple: he destroyed the myth that binds America together, and for that he was driven from office." - Theodore White In 1975, the year BREACH OF FAITH was published, there was nobody better equipped to explain the fall of Richard Nixon than journalist Theodore White.

He details how Nixon succeeded as a politician because he learned lessons early on how to exploit people's fears for his gain. The main premise is that this strategy created the primary ideological divide--think liberal vs. conservative or blue vs. red--that ...             Nixon in Winter : His Final Revelations about Diplomacy, Watergate, and Life out of the Arena24 reviews Monica Crowley Random House, 1998 Nixon's "Post-Mortem" Campaign When I read that MSNBC was going to have Monica Crowley co-host a show with Ronald Reagan several months ago, I did a Google search and was pleased (and surprised) to see that she had actually wrote a follow-up to her first (and brief) book about her experiences as an aid to Richard Nixon in the years leading up to his death. This book is rather lengthy but in a good way since it offers a ...             President Nixon: Alone in the White House40 reviews Richard Reeves Simon & Schuster, 2001 Man-in-the-center look at one of the compelling political figures of our time.

This was a great read before the identity of Deep Throat was revealed. Mark Feld must have been laughing up his sleeves when he heard the theory postulated in this book. Having said that, this is a lot of fun if you're into "true" political drama. Invaluable insight into the histories of Bob Woodward and G. Gordon Liddly highlight this book, in spite of its ultimately incorrect conclusions.
