Synopsis
This biography of Richard M. Nixon focuses on the darker side of his character
and argues against the "revisionist" view of Nixon as an elder statesman of
merit. Summers's book contains disturbing revelations about Nixon's conduct,
asserting that there is information that Nixon was a wife beater and that he
misused prescription drugs while in the White House. Summers has written
biographies of Marilyn Monroe and J. Edgar Hoover--both of which made
headlines upon their publication because of shocking revelations.

Publisher's Note
A new portrait of Richard Nixon retraces "Tricky Dick's" illustrious
and ultimately self-destructive rise to power, from his early career
as a California politician to his ascendency to the presidency,
with new evidence of the man's penchant for intrigue and profiteering.
