## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting approach to Nixon
*by R***S on December 29, 2001*

Reeves uses diaries and other personal documents to sketch out a picture of Nixon's presidency that is at once familiar and novel. This will not appeal to Nixon apologists nor to those who want a stereotypical "psychological" portrait (Garry Wills' "Nixon Agonists" is the best psychological description of Nixon's development, although Wills' original take on personality development will stymie those looking for Freud-lite). Instead, we see Nixon's presidency unfold and Nixon's reaction to the events around him. Even though I've read most of the "standard" Nixon biographies, Reeves' approach was fresh to me and an interesting complement to Haldeman's diaries, which I had read a couple years ago. Nixon's isolation and inability to trust are well-documented, but to see them here is to see them anew. It was a thought provoking book, both in terms of Nixon's presidency and with respect to the political tactics and skills that are needed to win elections, which unfortunately, are not the same tactics and skills needed to provide strong leadership. As was the case with LBJ, Nixon the office seeker undid Nixon, the president, and this book makes this point more clearly than previous biographies.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Excellent and Fair Book
*by K***R on January 7, 2013*

This is an excellent book that brings this president to life with all his contradictory traits. It also allows the reader to understand the entire administration -- Kissinger, the diplomacy with Russia and China, and the positive aspects of the administration. It does not spare Nixon in his character flaws and abuse of power, but it points out how far his underlings had gone in their illegal wiretapping, etc. before the burglary at the Watergate Building. In my estimation, this was a very fair and detailed book. I give it a 5 star rating.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Functional History.
*by B***C on August 13, 2007*

This is a solid work of Presidential scholarship. I appreciated its "worm's eye" view because it allows for the presentation of a great many primary source materials and documents that are invaluable for summing up the bizarre man who was President Richard Nixon. Reeves reveals a fair amount of personal bias and dislike for his subject here, but, fortunately, the intrusions of his point-of-view are not ubiquitous. Reeves seems to unquestionably believe that busing was good for blacks and it appears that he has an affinity for most government programs; a stance that is totally unwarranted. That being said, the work remains well-organized, clear and valuable. Reeves is a biographer and journalist so, unlike some of the other reviewers, I was glad that he did not share with us his psychological observations of the President. In all likelihood, they would have been ungrounded. Alone in the White House is a good, but not great, book.
