RaveSF GateThis slice of American history is well known. But with Caro\'s narration, it burns anew. In his writing, Caro does not merely recount. He beckons. Single sentences turn into winding, brimming paragraphs, clauses upon clauses tugging at the reader, layering the scenery with character intrigue and the plot with historical import. The result is irresistible ... The Passage of Power may be the most accessible of the bunch. More importantly, though, it covers with all the artistry and intrigue of a great novel events that are seared in the nation\'s memory ... Caro stands not merely apart, but alone.

And even now, his failures and accomplishments are not easy to classify. In Farrell’s capable hands, however, we see Nixon in his entirety — and we can’t help but wonder what he means for our politics today.
