Richard Nixon, the most polarizing president of the twentieth century, remains a captivating figure in 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. Detractors, on the other hand, perceive him as a deceitful, sinister individual who undermined democracy, was involved in the Watergate scandal, and perpetuated an immoral war in Vietnam. As time passes, new questions and perspectives emerge about 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 deepening polarization in politics and society. This book utilizes Nixon as a lens to explore American history both domestically and internationally, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 454g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367500931\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Timothy N.
