Without a doubt, Richard Nixon is one of America's least understood Presidents. Whatever our personal feelings about him, we can be reasonably sure that they are more the result of intuition than hard fact. The Nixon Nobody Knows pierces the shroud of mystery surrounding Richard Nixon. In the process, it supplies answers to some of the most basic, unanswered questions relating to the man whose power surpasses that of any living man on earth. Who is this man, Richard Milhous Nixon, who successfully reestablished contact with China after 25 years of silence? Who is this Richard Nixon who succeeded in creating a new understanding with the leaders of Soviet Russia after 20 years of cold war? Who were his antecedents? How did the death of his two brothers affect him? What about his school years? Why was he rejected by the FBI? How did he get started in politics? What about his family, his leisure time, his seemingly insatiable desire for power? Even if all Henry Spalding did was answer these questions, The Nixon Nobody Knows would be memorable. But, in addition to his exciting, gripping text the author has assembled the best collection of Nixon pictures and documents available anywhere. More than 60 pages of these photographs trace the President and his family virtually from the high-chair to the chair of office. They add a dimension which no text, however scintillating, could provide. The Nixon Nobody Knows is a human interest story that had to be written to enable us to arrive at a better understanding of the 33rd President of the United States. - Jacket flap.
