Nixon Agonistes: The Crisis of the Self-Made Man
by Garry Wills
Description
A penetrating portrait of Richard Nixon and the America that shaped—and was shaped by—him, this book examines the contradictions of the self-made man in an age of political upheaval. It explores Nixon’s ambition, insecurities, public persona, and governing style against the broader crises of the 1960s, including social unrest, cultural conflict, and the erosion of trust in public life. Combining political analysis, cultural criticism, and psychological insight, the work presents a complex study of power, identity, and the tensions at the heart of modern American democracy.
