About this title

Synopsis:

This is the autobiography of Richard Nixon, the thirty-seventh president of the United States. Before him only six men who have held the office wrote comprehensive memoirs. Now, here is Richard Nixon's self-portrait: a major work of autobiography, an extraordinary historical document, an intensely personal memoir.

From the Back Cover:

Former President Richard Nixon's bestselling autobiography is an intensely personal examination of his life, public career, and White House years. With startling candor, Nixon reveals his beliefs, doubts, and behind-the-scenes decisions, and sheds new light on his landmark diplomatic initiatives, political campaigns, and historic decision to resign from the presidency.

Throughout his career, Richard Nixon made extensive notes about his ideas, conversations, activities, and meetings. During his presidency, from November 1971 until April 1973, and again in June and July 1974, he kept an almost daily diary of reflections, analyses, and perceptions. These notes and diary dictations, which are quoted throughout this book, provide a unique insight into the complexities of the modern presidency and the great issues of American policy and politics.
