Richard Nixon

Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and a Sunday Independent Book of the Year A deeply researched, superbly crafted biography of Americas most complex president. Award-winning biographer John A. Farrell examines the life and legacy of one of Americas most controversial political figures, from Nixons early days in the Navy to his political career as senator, vice president, and finally president, and his downfall in 1974 following the Watergate scandal. Richard Nixon is a magisterial portrait of the man who embodied post-war American political cynicism and was destroyed by it.
