About the Book

From acclaimed biographer Stephen E. Ambrose comes the life of one of the most elusive and intriguing American political figures: Richard M. Nixon.

From his difficult boyhood and earnest youth to his ruthless political campaigns for Congress and Senate to his defeats in '60 and '62, Richard Nixon emerges life-size in all his complexity. New York Times bestselling author Stephen Ambrose charts the peaks and valleys of Nixon's first fifty years—his critical support as a freshman congressman of the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan; his involvement in the House Committee on Un-American Activities; his aggressive pursuit of Alger Hiss; his ambivalent relationship with Eisenhower; and more. It is the consummate biography and a stunning political odyssey.

Review :
USA Today Definitive....the most dispassionate, comprehensive and reliable source we now have on the first half-century of Richard Nixon's life. Library Journal The definitive political biography....there is no more throrough treatment of Nixon's pre-presidential years. Christopher Lehmann-Haupt The New York Times A voyage of discovery...through a dizzily shifting landscape. Richard Norton Smith The Boston Globe Richly detailed, highly readable....The most penetrating Look yet at Adlai Stevenson's "man of many masks." San Francisco Examiner-Chronicle Cool and balanced....Nixon's fair trial in the court of history. Time Authoritative...an engrossing story. Chicago Sun-Times Fascinating...exhaustive....Ambrose throws hard new light on the reserved, enigmatic California Quaker boy and his astonishing rise to quick power.
