does not add anything new to the narrative about or historiography of the Nixon presidency. The book would be of limited use to a student of Cold War history, or the Nixon presidency in particular, but Woodward is writing for a broad audience, and this shows in the book’s functionality. It includes no searchable index, and the individual chapters are not titled in a way that would allow the reader to locate a particular period of the Nixon administration. The book is worth reading for those interested in the Nixon presidency but adds nothing new to the overall narrative.

东南亚冷战：解读史

没有为尼克松总统任期的叙述或历史编纂添加任何新内容。这本书对冷战历史的学生，特别是尼克松总统任期的学生来说，用处有限，但伍德沃德是为广大读者写作的，这体现在这本书的功能上。它不包括可搜索的索引，并且各个章节的标题也没有让读者能够定位尼克松政府的特定时期。对于那些对尼克松总统任期感兴趣的人来说，这本书值得一读，但在整体叙述中没有增加任何新内容。
