Summary:  "Pat Buchanan, former speechwriter and senior adviser to President Richard Nixon in the White House, describes his years advising the president throughout the two terms of his administration, up until he resigned office in August 1974 in the wake of Watergate. From Vietnam to the Southern Strategy, from the opening of China to the scandal of Watergate, the story of Nixon's embattled White House, from its historic wins to its devastating defeats. In his inaugural address, Nixon held out a hand in friendship to Republicans and Democrats alike. But by the fall of 1969, massive demonstrations in Washington and around the country had been mounted to break his presidency. In a brilliant appeal to what he called the 'Great Silent Majority,' Nixon sent his enemies reeling. Vice President Agnew followed by attacking the blatant bias of the media. By 1970, Nixon's approval rating soared to 68 percent. Then, one by one, the crises came, from the invasion of Cambodia, to the protests that killed four students at Kent State, to race riots and court ordered school busing. Buchanan chronicles Nixon's historic trip to China, and describes the White House strategy that brought about Nixon's 49-state landslide victory over George McGovern in 1972. When the Watergate scandal broke, Buchanan urged the president to destroy the Nixon tapes before they were subpoenaed, and fire Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox, as Nixon ultimately did. Buchanan describes the grim scene at Camp David in August 1974, when Nixon's staff concluded he could not survive. Buchanan reveals both the failings and achievements of the 37th president. Patrick J. Buchanan, a populist conservative, was senior adviser to three American presidents, ran for the Republican nomination in 1992 and 1996, and was the Reform Party's presidential candidate in 2000. He appeared in of three of America's foremost public affairs shows: NBC's The McLaughlin Group and CNN's The Capitol Gang and Crossfire."--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Memoirs.
