King Richard Nixon and Watergate--An American Tragedy【電子書籍】[ Michael Dobbs ]＞▽◇2314 - SEIKO

＜p＞＜strong＞ONE OF ＜em＞USA TODAY＜/em＞'S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR ? A riveting account of the crucial days, hours, and moments when the Watergate conspiracy consumed, and ultimately toppled, a presidentーfrom the best-selling author of ＜em＞One Minute to Midnight.＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In January 1973, Richard Nixon had just been inaugurated after winning re-election in a historic landslide. He enjoyed an almost 70 percent approval rating. But by April 1973, his presidency had fallen apart as the Watergate scandal metastasized into what White House counsel John Dean called “a full-blown cancer.” ＜em＞King Richard＜/em＞ is the intimate, utterly absorbing narrative of the tension-packed hundred days when the Watergate conspiracy unraveled as the burglars and their handlers turned on one another, exposing the crimes of a vengeful president.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Drawing on thousands of hours of newly-released taped recordings, Michael Dobbs takes us into the heart of the conspiracy, recreating these traumatic events in cinematic detail. He captures the growing paranoia of the principal players and their desperate attempts to deflect blame as the noose tightens around them. We eavesdrop on Nixon plotting with his aides, raging at his enemies, while also finding time for affectionate moments with his family. The result is an unprecedentedly vivid, close-up portrait of a president facing his greatest crisis.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Central to the spellbinding drama is the tortured personality of Nixon himself, a man whose strengths, particularly his determination to win at all costs, become his fatal flaws. Rising from poverty to become the most powerful man in the world, he commits terrible errors of judgment that lead to his public disgrace. He makes himselfーand then destroys himself.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Structured like a classical tragedy with a uniquely American twist, ＜em＞King Richard＜/em＞ is an epic, deeply human story of ambition, power, and betrayal.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。・・・楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
