One Lost Soul: Richard Nixon's Search for Salvation (Library of Religious Biography (LRB))
by Daniel SillimanImpious and amoral, petty and vindictive, Richard Nixon is not the typical protagonist of a religious biography. But spiritual drama is at the heart of this former president&’s tragic story. The night before his resignation, Richard Nixon wept—and prayed. Though his demanding parents had raised him Quaker, he wasn&’t a regular churchgoer, nor was he quick to express vulnerability. As Henry Kissinger witnessed Nixon&’s loneliness and humiliation that night, he remarked, &“Can you imagine what this man would have been had somebody loved him?&” In this provocative and riveting biography, Daniel Silliman cuts to the heart of Nixon&’s tragedy: Nixon wanted to be loved by God but couldn&’t figure out how. This profound theological struggle underlay his successes and scandals, his turbulent political career, his history-changing victories, and his ultimate disgrace. As Silliman narrates the arc of his subject&’s life and career, he connects Nixon&’s character to religious influences in twentieth-century America—from Cold War Christianity to Chick tracts. Silliman paints a nuanced spiritual portrait of the thirty-seventh president, just as he offers fresh insight into US political and religious history. Readers who lived through Watergate will discover a new perspective on an infamous controversy. A historical page-turner, One Lost Soul will surprise and absorb students, scholars, and anyone who likes a good story.
