Our thirty-seventh president's political career spanned the button-down fifties, the \u003ci\u003eMad Men\u003c\/i\u003e sixties, and the turbulent seventies. He faced down the Russians, the Chinese, and ultimately his own government. The man went from political mastermind to a national joke, sobbing in the Oval Office, leaving us with one burning question: how could he have lost it all? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Here for the first time is the tale told in his own words: the terrifying supernatural secret he stumbled upon as a young man, the truth behind the Cold War, and the truth behind the Watergate cover-up. What if our nation's worst president was actually a pivotal figure caught in a desperate struggle between ordinary life and horrors from another reality? What if the man we call our worst president was, in truth, our greatest? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eCrooked\u003c\/i\u003e, Nixon finally reveals the secret history of modern American politics as only Austin Grossman could reimagine it.
