Synopsis
If Nixon Ran Today He'd Be a Liberal is a provocative reexamination of Richard Nixon's presidency and the political labels we use to remember it. Based on Nixon's record from 1969 to 1974, this book argues that the 37th president presided over one of the most ambitious expansions of federal power in modern American history, creating the EPA, signing the Clean Air Act and Endangered Species Act, backing OSHA, expanding the social safety net, supporting Title IX and affirmative action, funding NASA, advancing détente, and embracing major public investment in health and infrastructure.
Far from the small-government conservative icon many assume he was, Nixon emerges here as a pragmatic, results-driven president whose policies would be praised by today's progressives and attacked by today's right. This book is not a defense of Watergate or a whitewash of Nixon's flaws. It is a forceful, evidence-based argument that the America we live in today was shaped in large part by a Republican president whose governing instincts were far closer to modern liberalism than modern conservatism.
If you are interested in American history, political realignment, presidential power, environmental policy, or contrarian nonfiction that challenges received wisdom, this book will make you rethink one of the most familiar figures in twentieth-century politics.

About the Author
Harlan Whitaker writes about American politics, presidential history, and the long afterlife of public policy. His work looks closely at the gap between political myth and political record, with a particular interest in the moments when history turns out to be more surprising than the labels we attach to it. In If Nixon Ran Today He'd Be a Liberal, Whitaker invites readers to reconsider one of the most familiar figures in American politics through the lens of modern policy and party alignment.
