About This Item
Victor Gollancz, London, 2000. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. Summers' biography of Richard Nixon reveals a troubled figure whose criminal behavior didn't begin with Watergate. Drawing on over 1000 interviews & 5 years of research, he reveals a man driven by an addiction to intrigue & power, whose subversion of democracy during Watergate was the culmination of years of cynical political manipulation. New evidence suggests the former president had problems with alcohol & prescription drugs, was at times mentally unstable & was abusive to his wife Pat. He discloses previously unrevealed facts about Nixon's role in the plots to topple Fidel Castro & Salvador Allende, his sabotage of the Vietnam peace talks in 1968 & his acceptance of funds from dubious sources. The Arrogance of Power shows how the actions of one tormented man influenced 50 years of American history, in ways still reverberating today. 640 pages.
