by Richard Nixon. Hardcover. First cover. Nixon (1913-1994, born in Yorba
Linda, California) was elected 37th President of the United States in
1968 after representing California in the U.S. House of Representatives
(1947-1951) and Senate (1951-53) and serving two terms as Dwight D. Eisenhower's
Vice President. He lost (1960), then won, extremely close Presidential
elections (facing John F. Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey, respectively), then won
re-election by a landslide against George McGovern in 1972. His re-election
triumph rapidly turned sour, however, as the burgeoning Watergate scandal
claimed more and more of his key aides and finally compelled his own resignation
in the face of a possible impeachment. On Sept. 8, 1974, he received a
blanket pardon from President Ford for any crimes he may have committed against
the United States while President. A pragmatic conservative who gained an early
reputation as an anti-communist but achieved diplomatic triumphs in relations
with China and the Soviet Union, Nixon was a prolific writer in retirement,
repairing his reputation and hastening his emergence as an elder statesman.
