NIXON is a raw, clear-eyed biography of the most paranoid, brilliant, calculating, and self-destructive president in American history. Richard Nixon didn’t fall from grace. He built the fall himself. Room by room, tape by tape, play by play. He came from nothing, rose through Cold War paranoia, clawed his way into the White House, and rewired the entire presidency in his own image. He opened China. He froze the Soviets. He ended the gold standard. And then he recorded everything, including his own collapse. This book isn’t a caricature. It’s not a defense. It’s not Watergate on repeat.

In this dark hour of American history, Kelly’s gripping story reminds us that the monied elite have always exceled at deploying disinformation to bias and inflame the masses, and that there have always been courageous patriots helping us to fight our way out of darkness toward the light.
