Impious 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 weptand 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 Americafrom 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.
