Nixon: A Life

By (author) Jonathan Aitken

| book description |

Jonathan Aitken first met Nixon in 1966 when, in his opinion, Nixon was a low-calibre, spent force after his defeat against J.F. Kennedy. He was tersely corrected about Nixon's exceptional qualities by ex-Prime Minister Douglas-Home, for whom Aitken was working at the time. Today Aitken has a clearer idea of the forces that drove Nixon to Watergate and to the large extent to which Nixon was involved despite knowing better. Having built up a friendship with the then-disgraced ex-President in the mid-1970s, Jonathan Aitken was for the first and only time given unprecedented and unrestricted access to Nixon's private papers and diaries, as well as over 60 hours of fresh interviews. Jonathan Aitken also interviewed 135 other key figures in Nixon's life during the four years it took to write the book, uncovering a wealth of first-hand information. Based on this thorough research he discovered many ways in which the Nixon years are still with us.
