Nixon, Volume 1Ambrose presents Nixon as the major figure in world politics after the age of Stalin, Churchill, and Roosevelt. Beginning in 1947, when as a freshman congressman he gave critical support to the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan, and continuing through to 1985, when he advised President Ronald Reagan before the Geneva Summit meeting with Mikhail Gorbachev, Richard Nixon has been involved in every aspect of American foreign policy as a critic, advisor, participant or decisionmaker. In this authoritative work, he is portrayed as a very complex man. ISBN 0-671-52836-X: $22.95. |
