Peter Lutz’s Reviews > Nixonland: The Rise of a President and the Fracturing of America > Status Update

Perlstein really seems to pick up his step with Nixonland compared to Before the Storm. He’s quicker with an insightful (and sometimes un-insightful but silly) anecdote; he’s playing with reader perspective; (see: Wednesday, August 28, 1968) he’s honing in a lot more on student activity and cultural history; you can tell this is a labor of love, and he’s trying to do a LOT at once. But it’s perfect. Omg.
