Description

To his conservative supporters in 1940s southern California, Richard Nixon was a populist everyman; to liberal intellectuals of the 1950s, he was ?Tricky Dick,? a devious manipulator; to 1960s radicals, a shadowy conspirator; to the Washington press corps, a pioneering spin doctor; to his loyal Middle Americans, a victim of liberal hatred; to recent historians, an unlikely liberal. Nixon?s Shadow rediscovers these competing images of the protean Nixon, showing how each was created and disseminated in American culture and how Nixon?s tinkering with his own image often backfired. During Nixon?s long tenure on the national stage Americans came to realise how thoroughly politics relies on manipulation. More than what Nixon did, this fascinating book reveals what Nixon meant.
