Five Presidents: My Extraordinary Journey with Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Ford | Clint Hill, Lisa McCubbin

pick

If you love history, memoirs, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into powerful lives, Clint Hill's Five Presidents is a must-read—or in my case, a must-listen! As a former Secret Service agent, Hill's experiences with presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Ford are recounted with extraordinary detail. Hill's perspective offers a mix of reverence, heartbreak, and raw honesty. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 ❤️📚

All the President's Men | Bob Woodward, Carl Bernstein

@BookmarkTavern

I have always been fascinated by the Watergate scandal, and this book reminds me of the days of excellent reporting and research in the search for truth. Every time I read it, I learn something new.

TheSpineView I read this in high school. 2mo

dabbe @TheSpineView #metoo! And saw the movie. I've read it multiple times since (and seen the movie ... #hubbahubba RR!) 2mo

TheSpineView @dabbe I loved the movie. 2mo

peaKnit Loved this movie, we picked it apart in my college White Collar Crime class. 2mo

dabbe @TheSpineView 🧡🍁🤎 2mo

dabbe @peaKnit Where was this class when I was in college? I would have loved to have taken it! 🤩 2mo

BookmarkTavern I‘ve seen the movie, but I‘ve never read the book. I definitely should do that. Thanks for answering! 2mo

Bookwormjillk @dabbe my neighbor took us on a boat ride today and we went past the Watergate. The urge to re-read this is strong right now! 2mo

dabbe @BookmarkTavern It's so good! YW! 🤩😂🤗 2mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk Okay, how cool is that? Perfect timing for a reread, too! 🤩😂🤗 2mo

peaKnit It was at UW-Whitewater (Wisconsin) I had a criminal justice minor. I wish true crime podcasts were invented in the early 90‘s, I was true crime before it was cool 🤣 2mo

dabbe @peaKnit My fascination with true crime goes back to Ted Bundy. Who killed multiple women, including two of them at Chi Omega Sorority at FSU. I was a Chi Omega at U of A in the mid 1980s. We all had to sleep on a sleeping porch together BECAUSE of TB. We weren't allowed to sleep alone. Ever. 😱 2mo

DogMomIrene @peaKnit Want to audit that class! 2mo

peaKnit Omg, Ted Bundy sparked my interest in crime. I feel like I know everything there is to know about him and get so excited when I learn a new nugget. How scary though being in college, and the same sorority that was victimized, at that time, he was absolutely unhinged when he went to Florida. The most complete psychopath I have ever learned about. Have you read Bright Young Women? (edited) 2mo

dabbe @peaKnit Nope. It's now on the TBR! 🤩 2mo

Nixonland: The Rise of a President and the Fracturing of America | Rick Perlstein

pick

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really interesting look at the politics and sociology of the Nixon era. In previous biographies and Watergate books I‘ve read there‘s some sympathy for him as an awkward outsider. Not here. Perlstein goes all in on the vicious tactics he used to get and keep political power (like prolonging the Vietnam war to help his election 🙃). Looking forward to more Perlstein, but this was a #chunkster at 881 pgs, so maybe after a break…
