About this ebook
“Informative, explicit, even suspense-ridden.…An important source for students of the Nixon presidency.” —The New York Times
In this bestselling presidential memoir, former President Richard Nixon offers an intensely personal and revealing account of his life and political career, from his early years through his historic resignation following the Watergate scandal.
With striking candor, Nixon reflects on his presidency, landmark diplomatic achievements, campaign strategies, and the dramatic events that defined a generation.
Spanning from Nixon’s formative years in California, to his service in World War II, to his ascent through the US Senate and ultimately to the White House, RN explores the evolution of an American leader shaped by conflict, ambition, and political upheaval. These memoirs provide firsthand insight into Nixon’s thoughts on Cold War diplomacy, domestic policy, the Kennedy-Nixon rivalry, McCarthyism, and more.
Incorporating diary entries, notes, and personal reflections from his time as president, Nixon’s autobiography offers a rare glimpse into the inner workings of American government and the complexities of presidential leadership. RN remains a definitive source for understanding one of the most controversial and consequential figures in 20th-century US politics.

About the author
Richard Nixon, the 37th president of the United States, was born on January 9, 1913 in Yorba Linda, California. First elected to public office in 1946 representing California’s 12th congressional district, Nixon was elected to the US Senate in 1950 and two years later won the first of two terms as vice president of the United States. Winning the presidency in 1968, he was re-elected in 1972 in one of the largest victories in US history. One of America’s most prolific former presidents, Nixon’s bestselling books influenced the conduct of American foreign policy long after he left the White House.
