5.0 out of 5 stars To the reviewer from 2002..., September 22, 2005
I just want to point out how ironic it is that you recommended Ambrose intead of Brodie, when Ambrose borrowed very very heavily from Brodie's book (check the footnotes). Apparently Ambrose found her analysis quite compelling...

1.0 out of 5 stars This has no business having a 4 star rating in 2011, May 30, 2011
The only possibly justification of this suspiciously high rating would be that this book has likely been relegated to well deserved obscurity. This book has been universally discredited, and is frequently used as an argument against the entire genre of psychobiography. Brodie's hatred of Nixon (compounded by excessive personal troubles and impending death) resulted in the spewing of wildly inaccurate charges with alarming frequency. Page after page, the descent into absolute insanity does not stop, and the venomous blinding hatred pours forth like a tidal wave. One highlighted gem of madness has the author seriously claiming that Nixon carried on a long term homosexual relationship with Bebe Rebozo.

You know all of those trash-heap books by Left/Right-wing psychotic nutjobs who blame Bush/Obama for every single bad thing that has happened all the way back to the assassination of James Garfield? This makes those look like credible & reliable sources, in comparison

a somewhat critical discussion of nixon's personality and the theories of how he became the man who was eventually impeached. some valid points inthe book that i was unaware of before and then some points which i just sat back and sighed about
