Title: Nixon wasn't really that ugly, was he?
Product review: Much of the prose reads like a journalist's field notes, sort of scattered, in medias res. The author's idiosyncracies guide his characterization of Nixon, e.g., Wills doesn't seem too sympathetic to quaker faith, and he insists on Nixon's minimal importance in the Eisenhower days. Knowledge of the political landscape of the time period (40's-70's) is assumed. Much of the book works to characterize the spirits of the decades (40's-70's) rather than Nixon. If you don't mind all this, you'll enjoy the read.
