Description
In Being Nixon, Evan Thomas peels away the layers of the complex, confounding figure who became Americas thirty-seventh president. The son of devout Quakers, Richard Nixon (not unlike his rival John F. Kennedy) grew up in the shadow of an older, favored brother and thrived on conflict and opposition. Through high school and college, in the navy and in politics, he was constantly leading crusades and fighting off enemies real and imagined. As maudlin as he was Machiavellian, Nixon possessed the plainspoken eloquence to reduce American television audiences to tears with his career-saving zCheckersy speech; meanwhile, his darker half hatched schemes designed to take down his political foes, earning him the notorious nickname zTricky Dick.y
