Book Reviews of Nixonland: The Rise of a President and the Fracturing of America
Book Review: A Flawed Book
Summary: 1 Stars
Nixonland is a flawed by factual innacuracies and poor editing. For example, I was on the UC Berkeley campus during the People"s Park protests when a helicopter gassed the campus. There were not several helicopters, just one. And it didn't swoop down on the protestors. It flew in front of Barrows Hall where I was alone on the ninth floor balcony. It released tear gas right in front of me; I was the closest person to it. I also have studied the shooting of the Black Panther Bobby Hutton and I find the details in the book at variance with the most objective accounts. The book also has spelling and grammatical errors that should have been caught by a competent editor. I intend to put this book in its proper place: the garbage.
