Rick Perlstein, The Invisible Bridge: The Fall of Nixon and the Rise of Reagan (New York: Simon & Schuster, 2014) (THIS IS A MUST-READ BOOK!! From the bookjacket: "The Invisible Bridge is the story of America on the verge of a nervous breakdown--an account of the unprecedented loss of national confidence that took place in the United States between 1973 and 1976, the year when President Richard Nixon resigned in disgrace and Governor Ronald Reagan began his long march to the White House."
