The Life and Presidency of Richard Nixon
1969-1974
Richard Nixon was the most controversial and most
dangerous President in American history. The only
President forced to resign, due to the Watergate
Scandal, was also the only President facing
impeachment, who would have been convicted had
he not resigned. A man of great insights and talents in
foreign policy, and great achievements in domestic
policy, he was a flawed person both in personality
and in human relations. His life and presidency are a
story of triumph and tragedy, of many highs and
lows. If not for personal and political corruption and
his own self-destruction, Nixon might have gone
down as a path-breaking President due to his
dealings with China and the Soviet Union, and his
support of a federal role on the environment,
consumer protection and labor advancements. We
will examine all of the controversies and
accomplishments of the 37th President with a
judgment as to his place in history. Questions and
comments are welcome.
