The Presidency of Richard Nixon

A very good and brisk survey. - New York Times Book Review; ""A carefully balanced assessment of a complex but accomplished and important president."" - Kirkus Reviews; ""In one masterful volume, Small surveys every important facet of the Nixon presidency. This book is certain to set the standard on this subject for years."" - Allen J. Matusow, author of Nixon's Economy; ""A fresh, thoughtful analysis. Small sees a stronger domestic policy legacy in the Nixon presidency and a somewhat less praiseworthy foreign policy than other authors. The evidence is substantial. Highly recommended."" - Choice; ""Engaging enough to serve as a good introduction for readers who are as interested in the Nixon presidency as they are in Nixon's personality."" - Publishers Weekly; ""Without doubt the best single-volume study yet written on the Nixon administration. Small gets as close as anyone has yet done to explaining Nixon the man, but he still treats his achievements and failures as president in an even-handed and judicious fashion."" - Journal of American Studies; ""A model of lucid, elegant, and intelligent prose."" - Journal of Illinois History
