This generally favorable treatment of Richard Nixon does a nice job of offering his own words to explain the thoughts and emotions behind his fascinating political career. There are not a lot of outside sources used to add perspective, but those who are used lend some needed credibility. Overall, this won't open very many new windows into the Nixon White House, but it does answer the pressing question of what RMN himself thought about issues of the day and how things were allowed to get out of control.
