About This Item
New York: Simon & Schuster, 1992. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. very good. 25 cm. 322 pages. Author's Note. Index. Pencil erasure residue on fep. Richard Milhous Nixon (January 9, 1913 - April 22, 1994) was the 37th President of the United States from 1969 until his resignation in 1974, the only president to resign from office. He had previously served as the 36th Vice President of the United States from 1953 to 1961, and prior to that as a U.S. Representative and also Senator from California. In 20 years of retirement, Nixon wrote nine books and undertook many foreign trips, helping to rehabilitate his image into that of elder statesman. Richard Nixon presents his pragmatic and visionary views of international relations within the context of the demise of the Soviet system and the emergence of the United States as the single greatest superpower. Derived from a Kirkus review: Liberal doses of realpolitik from an elder statesman whose shrewd and unsentimental approach to foreign affairs remains well worth heeding. Nixon suggests a wealth of policy initiatives the US could take to ensure that the 21st century brings such millennial blessings as peace, freedom, and progress. The former President offers an activist agenda whose broad guidelines are informed by idealism as well as clown-to-earth pragmatism. He argues Washington should help erstwhile Soviet republics and satellites establish the institutions needed to make free markets work. He characterizes the industrialized members of the EC as closet protectionists. The author closes with a wide-ranging series of proposals for home-front renewal, designed to guarantee that America maintains and exercises superpower influence on its own account as well as for the greater good. A geopolitical catechism that's worldly wise and thought-provoking.
