This was a biography of President Nixon's life. I picked it up because I wanted to learn more about the Watergate scandal; however, this book only focused about 5 pages on it. What I got out of it was a full history of his life. Things I had never known about President Nixon were covered in this novel and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. Some of the things they talked about was his determination to give it his all whether he was playing sports or running for politics. This is a very interesting novel and if you are looking for a broader overview of his life, I would highly recommend this book.
