Horrible sounding meal.

After finishing my JFK book - the third on the man I've read - I'm going to read the four existing Years of Lyndon Johnson and then I'm in fabulous Nixon town, baby. I've got Stephen Ambrose's trilogy lined up and a-waiting.

God, I read them probably twenty years ago so my memory is … suspect. As I recall, Ambrose is a straight-forward writer, neither a stylist nor up-his-academic-ass dull. He published that when Nixon was being rehabilitated in the public mind and in scholarly works, so he gets a much fairer hearing than stuff that was being published in the 80s and certainly the 70s. So a bit more even-handed, tho not exactly sympathetic. Ambrose was an Eisenhower scholar, I believe, so there must have been some difficulty for him to handle a figure that Ike himself treated like a disappointing son. If you can locate a copy and want a laugh, look for Fawn Brodie's psycho-biography of Nixon. All the worst parts of Oliver Stone's Nixon movie are from that book—just clunky, armchair psychoanalysis.

Based on hundreds of hours of amateur video taken by various Nixon White House staff. The weird highlight is the theme song of the '72 re-election campaign. Remix this into a dance track pronto!

After Hamilton became a sensation with Hillarycrats, the string of franchise reboots were inevitable. :twitch:
