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.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA crucial new look at the greatest political suicide in history, \u003ci\u003eOne Man Against the World\u003c\/i\u003e  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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audio CD [40]","offer_id":49385832710448,"sku":"40bpxv","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49385832677680,"sku":"BDbpxv","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/bpxv-cover.jpg?v=1761351261","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-bpxv","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
