| Zusammenfassung: | Jonathan Aitken, former Member of Parliament and Minister for Defense, conducted over sixty hours of interviews with Nixon and his associates and was granted unprecedented access to thousands of pages of Nixon's previously sealed private documents. Among the questions Aitken answers with fresh insight are: Why didn't Nixon burn the Watergate tapes? How did he achieve his astonishing comebacks after being defeated by Kennedy in 1960 and resigning from the presidency in 1974? What were his relationships with political figures such as Dwight Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Henry Kissinger, and personal friends such as Bebe Rebozo and Robert Abplanalp? What caused him to overcome his doubts and pursue the Alger Hiss spy case in Congress? What are Nixon's innermost spiritual beliefs and intellectual influences? What drives him now? Previously published in Great Britain to rave reviews, Nixon: A Life is the first Nixon biography written by a non-American author. -- |
