![]() Free Download Nixon Agonistes: The Crisis of the Self-Made Man (Audiobook) English | ASIN: B0CKGB6S4L | 2023 | 24 hours and 5 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 709 MB Author: Garry Wills Narrator: Adam Barr In this acclaimed biography that earned him a spot on Nixon's infamous "enemies list," Garry Wills takes a thoughtful, in-depth, and often "very amusing" look at the thirty-seventh US president, and draws some surprising conclusions about a man whose name has become synonymous with scandal and the abuse of power. Arguing that Nixon was a reflection of the country that elected him, Wills examines not only the psychology of the man himself and his relationships with others-from his wife, Pat, to his vice-president, Spiro Agnew-but also the state of the nation at the time, mired in the Vietnam War and experiencing a cultural rift that pitted the young against the old. Putting his findings into moral, economic, intellectual, and political contexts, he ultimately "paints a broad and provocative landscape of the nation's-and Nixon's-travails" (The New York Times). Simultaneously compassionate and critical, and raising interesting perspectives on the shifting definitions of terms like "conservative" and "liberal" over recent decades, Nixon Agonistes is a brilliant and indispensable book from one of America's most acclaimed historians. ![]() Free Download Nirvana: The Amplifications (Audiobook) English | ASIN: B0BSVNJKTQ | 2023 | 12 hours and 22 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 346 MB Author: Michael Azerrad Narrator: Michael Azerrad An audiobook reflecting on the meaning of the revolutionary band Nirvana, their leader Kurt Cobain, and the band's personal, musical and cultural contexts in the '90s.
