3.5 stars. Interesting read about Watergate, impeachment, and ultimately, Nixon’s resignation. As the title of this book suggests, the story is written from the perspective of one who wanted Nixon impeached and removed from office. While biased in that respect, it has lots of interesting anecdotes and information about the players who were working on impeachment (with the legendary Speaker of the House, Tip O’Neill playing a starring role, as Breslin was “embedded” with O’Neill for much of this time), as well as those who were involved in other ways (like Gerald Ford).

That perspective and the anecdotes make the book worth the read. Where the book fell a little flat for me was the way some of the dialogue was presented without sufficient context. At times, it went from one conversation to the next without much setup or segue. As a result, there were several instances where I felt more like I was jumping between newspaper articles (a forum that Breslin has lots of experience with; he had a true gift for his work there). Had there been a bit more context and setup, this book would have really shined. That said, its still a well-written and interesting read for those interested in this aspect of American history. Would give this 3.5 stars if Goodreads allowed half stars. ( )
