Farrell’s political biography charts Nixon’s unusually fast rise to national office, his even more breathtaking fall from it, and examines his legacy on both the domestic and world stages. Farrell, the award-winning author of Clarence Darrow and Tip O’Neill and the Democratic Century, is also an experienced former White House correspondent, and he combines his biographical and reporting skills to give a detailed picture of an immensely complicated man who left behind a polarized, cynical nation, divided between a Silent Majority and a vocal elite. Yet he was also able to point the way out of the Cold War with his 1972 rapprochement with China.
