Book Recommendation: Nixonland

I haven't been mentioning books here as often as I used to, so I'll try to get back on track. I'm just finishing up Rick Perlstein's fast-paced Nixonland, and I highly recommend it. It is either a fascinating  look at the rise of paranoia politics in America during the 1960s and early 1970s, or it's an entertainingly-written screed by yet another Nixon-hater.

Where do I come down? I think it's the former, but you can read it and make up your own mind.
