37th US President
Nixon ended American involvement in the Viet Nam War, improved relations with the Soviet Union, and opened US relations with the Peoples' Republic of China, before being driven from office in the wake of Watergate. Nice copy with dust jacket of Nixon's book Six Crises, (Doubleday & Company: Garden City, NY, 1962). This book, written in the wake of his loss to John F Kennedy in the 1960 Presidential Election, covers the Hiss case, his televised funding speech (the so-called "Checkers" speech in 1952), Eisenhower's heart attack, the trip to Caracas, the famous "Kitchen Debate" with Khrushchev, and the 1960 campaign. Boldly signed on the title page, "Richard Nixon." $450.00
