Being Nixon

POD

Thomas, Evan

What drove a painfully shy introvert-so self-conscious he preferred telephone calls to meetings-to pursue public office, and how did these same qualities presage his infamous downfall? Beginning with Nixon's painful and awkward stage debut, the narrative is fast-paced and colorful-not another heavy and ponderous presidential biography but a detailed, dramatic, and perceptive character study that carefully examines both the good and bad sides of Richard Nixon.
