09.07: The Invisible Bridge: The Fall of Nixon and the Rise of Reagan
2014-08-18 20:39:23| Powells Books Events Calendar
Rick Perlstein, author of Nixonland, returns with a dazzling portrait of America on the verge of a nervous breakdown in the tumultuous political and economic times of the 1970s. The Invisible Bridge: The Fall of Nixon and the Rise of Reagan (Simon and Schuster) is the latest volume in the acclaimed political history of America by the author called the "hypercaffeinated Herodotus of the American century" (The Nation). Against a backdrop of melodramas from the Arab oil embargo to Patty Hearst to the near-bankruptcy of America's greatest city, The Invisible Bridge asks the question: What does it mean to "believe in America"? To wave a flag — or to reject the glibness of the flag wavers?
