“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.” – Matthew 5:9

Ben Stein, a renowned author, humorist, and former speechwriter for both Nixon and Ford administrations, offers a captivating perspective on Richard Nixon in his book, "The Peacemaker: Nixon: The Man, President, and My Friend." Stein believes that Nixon has been unfairly persecuted and portrays him as a saint. He attributes Nixon's innate ability to be a peacemaker to his Quaker mother. Stein asserts that Nixon's ultimate goal was to create a generation of peace, and he achieved this by providing the United States with the longest sustained period of peace since World War II.

Stein challenges the prevailing media portrayal of Nixon, suggesting that it stems from his vulnerability and the fact that he didn't possess the tough hide of Reagan or Obama. Instead, he argues, the media targeted Nixon's weaknesses, akin to schoolyard bullies. Through his insider account, "The Peacemaker: Nixon: The Man, President, and My Friend," Stein aims to reassess Nixon's life and legacy, offering a fresh perspective on the 37th President of the United States.
