Nixon write by Conrad Black. This book was released on 2008-10-23. Richard M. Nixon available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. From the late 1940s to the mid-1970s, Richard Nixon was a polarizing figure in American politics, admired for his intelligence, savvy, and strategic skill, and reviled for his shady manner and cutthroat tactics. Conrad Black, whose epic biography of FDR was widely acclaimed as a masterpiece, now separates the good in Nixon -- his foreign initiatives, some of his domestic policies, and his firm political hand -- from the sinister, in a book likely to generate enormous attention and controversy. Black believes the hounding of Nixon from office was partly political retribution from a lifetime's worth of enemies and Nixon's misplaced loyalty to unworthy subordinates, and not clearly the consequence of crimes in which he participated. Conrad Black's own recent legal travails, though hardly comparable, have undoubtedly given him an unusual insight into the pressures faced by Nixon in his last two years as president and the first few years of his retirement.

The Strange Case of Richard Milhous Nixon available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The author of this book, perhaps more intimately than anyone, knows Richard M. Nixon, the political animal. He faced him in the arena of politics on Mr. Nixon's maiden appearance in 1946--and lost. Tracing the story from that date up through the Checkers speech, the Nixon loss in the California gubernatorial race ("You don't have Dick Nixon to kick around any more") to the contradictory social and economic "Game Plans" to the astonishing Red China turnaround and the "Law and Order" posture-to Watergate and beyond-here is the first book that gets at the basic human riddle of Richard M.

Nixon write by Elizabeth Drew. This book was released on 2007-05-29. Richard M. Nixon available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The complex man at the center of America's most self-destructive presidency In this provocative and revelatory assessment of the only president ever forced out of office, the legendary Washington journalist Elizabeth Drew explains how Richard M. Nixon's troubled inner life offers the key to understanding his presidency. She shows how Nixon was surprisingly indecisive on domestic issues and often wasn't interested in them. Turning to international affairs, she reveals the inner workings of Nixon's complex relationship with Henry Kissinger, and their mutual rivalry and distrust. The Watergate scandal that ended his presidency was at once an overreach of executive power and the inevitable result of his paranoia and passion for vengeance. Even Nixon's post-presidential rehabilitation was motivated by a consuming desire for respectability, and he succeeded through his remarkable resilience. Through this book we finally understand this complicated man. While giving him credit for his achievements, Drew questions whether such a man—beleaguered, suspicious, and motivated by resentment and paranoia—was fit to hold America's highest office, and raises large doubts that he was.
