In his inaugural address, Nixon held out a hand in friendship to Republicans and Democrats alike. But by the fall of 1969, massive demonstrations in Washington and around the country had been mounted to break his presidency. In a brilliant appeal to what he called the 'Great Silent Majority,' Nixon sent his enemies reeling. Vice President Agnew followed by attacking the blatant bias of the media in a fiery speech authored and advocated by Buchanan. And by 1970, Nixon's approval rating soared to 68 percent, and he was labeled 'The Most Admired Man in America.' Then, one by one, the crises came, from the invasion of Cambodia, to the protests that killed four students at Kent State, to race riots and court ordered school busing. Buchanan chronicles Nixon's historic trip to China, and describes the White House strategy that brought about Nixon's 49-state landslide victory over George McGovern in 1972. When the Watergate scandal broke, Buchanan urged the president to destroy the Nixon tapes before they were subpoenaed, and fire Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox, as Nixon ultimately did in the 'Saturday Night Massacre.' After testifying before the Watergate Committee himself, Buchanan describes the grim scene at Camp David in August 1974, when Nixon's staff concluded he could not survive. In a riveting memoir from behind the scenes of the most controversial presidency of the last century, Nixon's White House Wars reveals both the failings and achievements of the 37th president, recorded by one of those closest to Nixon from before his political comeback, through to his final days in office"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 422-424) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: Nixon in the 60s -- Left behind -- Storm warnings -- "The great Silent Majority" -- Agnew's hour -- American kulturkampf -- The Nixon court -- The second reconstruction -- Converting the Catholics -- Cambodia and Kent State -- The seven weeks war -- The Pentagon papers -- Nixon in China -- "Turn all the dogs loose" -- St. George & the dragon -- Watergate erupts -- "Burn the tapes!" -- Before the Watergate Committee -- Saturday night massacre -- Final days -- Ex-president, 1974-1994 -- Appendix. 600 10 $a Nixon, Richard M. $q (Richard Milhous), $d 1913-1994. 600 10 $a Buchanan, Patrick J. $q (Patrick Joseph), $d 1938- 600 10 $a Nixon, Richard M. $q (Richard Milhous), $d 1913-1994 $x Friends and associates. 600 17 $a Buchanan, Patrick J. $q (Patrick Joseph), $d 1938- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00211763 600 17 $a Nixon, Richard M. $q (Richard Milhous), $d 1913-1994. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00031384 600 14 $a Nixon, Richard M $q Richard Milhous $d 1913-1994. 600 14 $a Nixon, Richard M $q Richard Milhous $d 1913-1994. $x Friends and associates. 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Political consultants $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $x Staff $v Biography. 650 0 $a Speechwriters $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Political culture $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Crisis management in government $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1969-1974. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Presidents & Heads of State. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Political. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / 21st Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Crisis management in government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883630 650 7 $a Friendship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00935174 650 7 $a Political consultants. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069231 650 7 $a Political culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069263 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Presidents. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01075723 650 7 $a Presidents $x Staff. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01075812 650 7 $a Speechwriters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01129431 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 4 $a Crisis management in government $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 4 $a Speechwriters $z United States $v Biography. 650 4 $a Political consultants $z United States $v Biography. 650 4 $a Presidents $z United States $v Biography. 650 4 $a Presidents $z United States $x Staff $v Biography. 650 4 $a Political culture $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 651 4 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1969-1974. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 7 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020011621.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529011826.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190103015353.0 952 $l MMPE553 $d 20180719043747.0 952 $l NUPD663 $d 20180712053028.0 952 $l VBPC034 $d 20171027162458.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20170616012254.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=43F2F018475911E7B35354A3DAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
