I really like the way I got this book for fifty cents at the local public library from the used book shelf earlier this year, perhaps in January of 2019. I read a couple chapters and set it down, and have now picked it back up to start from scratch. I really like the way that authors Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein go about their detective work. I will write more on this as I get deeper into the book.

Okay, when you read more than one book at a time and do other stuff, your progress in each book will be less than if you were just reading one book. That is obvious and I apologize for stating it, but I am going to let you know what I think about this book, The Final Days, 63 pages in (I did start reading in the middle of the book at first and learned some things about David Eisenhower I did not know before [pgs 242-246], and quickly decided that I should simply read the book from the very beginning).

So far, the book is excellent. Beyond excellent actually. It is a piece of work that elaborates on the personalities and motivations of key people involved in the final days of the Nixon Presidency, including the man himself, Richard M. Nixon. I do not want to give anything else away because you would be better served at reading this book yourself. It is highly recommended and will be well worth the time spent reading it. The reason I am reading it now is that it reminds me of the Trump Administration and what is going on today. The level of conniving, self-congratulatory side-stepping of sketchy behaviors and deeds, is the same as it was then as it is today, with one different aspect, that the Congress of the United States did their job with oversight to check the abuses of power of the Nixon Administration. What is interesting is that so many books have come out detailing the moral rot and batshit craziness in the Trump Administration, yet the "final days" aspect seems to be the hopeful election of a different president than Donald Trump in 2020, and not a book detailing the drain spiraling result of a soon to resign President of the United States.

You simply have to read this book. I am going to keep on reading. ...more "

"When you have a criminal President, as we do now with Trump, what you do is lay out all the facts for the people to then decide upon. Keep or dismiss." — Jul 09, 2019 08:20AM
