Author: Block, Herbert

Condition: New

A rare and insightful book on the Nixon career from shifty California congressman to criminal-but-pardoned ex-president by the man who battled him from a drawing board for twenty-six years-and won. In 450 pungent cartoons accompanied by a witty, wry text, the nations No. 1 cartoonist has produced a unique history that lays out the whole Nixon record. -Tom Engelhardt, St. Louis Post-Dispatch This book obviously does not set out a complete record of the Nixon scandals or of the Nixon career. It doesn't even include all the cartoons about Nixon or relating to him-which probably number more than those Block did on almost any other public figure (good or bad), including such long-in-the-limelight persons as Franklin D. Roosevelt and Joseph Stalin. It does include a large number of the Nixon cartoons, along with dates of some incidents, and comments and recollections about their subject-a political career which in some way has affected all of us.
