摘要:Nixon's Enemies studies the man and those that stood in the way of his quest for power and control. Both revered and hated, Nixon was by turns a noble statesman and a seething bureaucrat who made his political name off the smearing of others. Driven by fear and envy, Nixon cut a swath through his enemies and eventually into the White House, becoming the leader of the most powerful country in the world. Nixon's Enemies is a survey of this powerful man, his powerful enemies, and how, together, they defined a fascinating era in American history.
