  <default_description> &lt;P&gt;&lt;I&gt;The Final Days&lt;/I&gt; is the classic, behind-the-scenes account of Richard Nixon's dramatic last months as president. Moment by moment, Bernstein and Woodward portray the taut, post-Watergate White House as Nixon, his family, his staff, and many members of Congress strained desperately to prevent his inevitable resignation. This brilliant book reveals the ordeal of Nixon's fall from office -- one of the gravest crises in presidential history.&lt;P&gt; </default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[A follow up to All The President's Men and equally entertaining.  I feel guilty describing the story of an extremely low point in our country's history as entertaining, but it's the truth.  My good friends Carl and Bob give you a picture of the real White House.  You basically get to eavesdrop on th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/33726254">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Interesting look at the end of the disgraced Nixon administration.  If you liked their book about Watergate this is basically a sequel.  I found this book to be way to freeeeking long.  I think it would be a great read if it was about half as long.  Way too much detail, it's one of those books where...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/15194152">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[4 1/2 stars. Fascinating account of the last days of the Nixon Presidency - with so much detail, it sometimes borders on being overwhelming. But the last half is especially strong, as it focuses on the psychological mindset of the Nixon family and their inner circle, and the administration limps to ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24297040">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is basically the sequel to All the President's Men.  You know about Watergate, but if you ever wondered what happened between when Watergate broke up to Nixon's resignation, this is the book.  Pretty fascinating stuff, especially read in the context of our current political climate. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[An incredibly detailed portrait of a crumbling man, and a doomed Presidency.  What comes through most clearly is that Nixon never understood what went wrong, and it was his very lack of introspection that doomed him.  It's really Greek tragedy as factual history.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I had forgotten how intense these days were.  It was a minute by minute thing with news breaking at every moment.  And behind the scenes even more was going on.  This book took me back to July/August 1974 with an immediacy I hadn't expected.  ]]></body>
