But spiritual drama is at the heart of this former president's tragic story. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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?\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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, \u003ci\u003eOne Lost Soul\u003c\/i\u003e will surprise and absorb students, scholars, and anyone who likes a good story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Silliman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802878199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802878199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
