One Man Against the World by Tim Weiner Book Summary

The New York Times Bestseller

A shocking and riveting look at one of the most dramatic and disastrous presidencies in US history, from Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner Tim Weiner

Based largely on documents declassified only in the last few years, One Man Against the World paints a devastating portrait of a tortured yet brilliant man who led the country largely according to a deep-seated insecurity and distrust of not only his cabinet and congress, but the American population at large. In riveting, tick-tock prose, Weiner illuminates how the Vietnam War and the Watergate controversy that brought about Nixon's demise were inextricably linked. From the hail of garbage and curses that awaited Nixon upon his arrival at the White House, when he became the president of a nation as deeply divided as it had been since the end of the Civil War, to the unprecedented action Nixon took against American citizens, who he considered as traitorous as the army of North Vietnam, to the infamous break-in and the tapes that bear remarkable record of the most intimate and damning conversations between the president and his confidantes, Weiner narrates the history of Nixon's anguished presidency in fascinating and fresh detail.

A crucial new look at the greatest political suicide in history, One Man Against the World leaves us not only with new insight into this tumultuous period, but also into the motivations and demons of an American president who saw enemies everywhere, and, thinking the world was against him, undermined the foundations of the country he had hoped to lead.

Nixon's ego. How someone can break the law on almost everday, (in a major, go to jail for decades if you're not, The President, kind of way) isn't the surprising thing. Nope. The fact that he was sure to record basically all of it boggles the mind! Definitely a very good read...

A True Tragedy Indeed. This book was a very detailed, powerful, and interesting journey into the life and presidency of one of our most fascinating, dark, and paranoid characters who ever took the job as President: Richard Millhouse Nixon. From his rural beginnings, to rising to fame as a member of congress, then the Vice Presidency, to the unconscionable sabotaging of a possible peace resolution/ceasefire in 1968, to destroying his own presidency with abuses of power on a order of magnitude, Nixon certainly carved his place in history for better AND worse. He could’ve had it all, but threw it all away with his crookedness and paranoia. Lastly, I wish that Mr. Weiner mentioned the lasting damage that Nixon did to the Supreme Court and this country with his appointment of Lewis Powell, whose presence lead to the legalization of bribery to politicians, him naming the members of Congress who turned on Nixon, how Ford handled the aftermath of Watergate, and how Nixon’s personality and reaction to things in the presidency were an affront to everything the Founding Fathers stood for. Overall, great book and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in politics and the presidency.
