Synopsis
John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon each dreamed of becoming the great young leader of their age. First as friends, then as bitter enemies, they were linked by a historic rivalry that changed both them and their country. In this startling dual portrait, Chris Matthews shows how the contest between the charismatic Kennedy and the talented yet haunted Nixon propelled America toward Vietnam and Watergate. Fresh, entertaining, and revealing, Kennedy and Nixon shows how the early fondness between the two menâÈ'Kennedy, for example, told a trusted friend that if he didnâÈçt receive the Democratic nomination in 1960, he would vote for NixonâÈ'degenerated into distrust and bitterness. Using White House tapes, this book shows how Richard NixonâÈçs dread of a Kennedy âÈêrestorationâÈë in 1972 drove the dark deeds of Watergate.
