Richard Nixon, widely regarded as one of the most polarizing figures in American political history, continues to captivate observers of American political life. Admirers view him as the embodiment of the American dream of upward mobility and a steadfast ally against domestic and international threats. Conversely, detractors perceive him as a deceitful, sinister individual who undermined democracy, was embroiled in the Watergate scandal, and perpetuated an immoral war in Vietnam. As time passes, new perspectives and insights emerge regarding the Nixon era, shedding light on various phenomena such as the expansion of the welfare state, the growth of the administrative state, the evolution of the Republican and Democratic Parties, and the escalating polarization in politics and society at large. This book employs Nixon as a prism through which to explore American history both domestically and abroad, highlighting his enduring influence over half a century after his departure from office.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe text is enriched with primary source documents, making it an invaluable resource for classroom instruction and essential for students studying American history, the American presidency, and the 1960s. By delving into the Nixon presidency, this book offers a fresh perspective on a pivotal period in American history, shedding light on the complex dynamics and enduring legacies that shaped the nation during this time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 294g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 233 x 153 x 20 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367500924\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Timothy N.
