Richard Nixon's bestselling autobiography, an important source for students of the Nixon presidency, is informative, explicit, and even suspense-ridden, according to The New York Times. In this intensely personal examination of his life, public career, and White House years, Nixon reveals his beliefs, doubts, and behind-the-scenes decisions with startling candor. His memoir, spanning his formative years through his presidency, sheds new light on his landmark diplomatic and domestic initiatives, political campaigns, and historic decision to resign from the presidency.
The book provides a personal look at Richard Nixon, from his youth, college years, and wartime experiences that shaped his outward philosophies and presidency, to his meteoric rise to national prominence and the great peaks and depths of his presidency. Throughout his career, Nixon made extensive notes about his ideas, conversations, activities, and meetings, and during his presidency, he kept an almost daily diary of reflections, analyses, and perceptions from November 1971 until April 1973 and again in June and July 1974. These notes and diary dictations, quoted throughout the book, provide a unique insight into the complexities of the modern presidency and the great issues of American policy and politics.
