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 and through the
succession of "new Nixons" so brilliantly described here Americans
came to realize how thoroughly politics relies on manipulation.
Since Nixon, it has become impossible to discuss politics without
asking: What is the politician's "real" character? How authentic or
inauthentic is he? What image is he trying to project? More than
what Nixon "did," this fascinating book reveals what Nixon
"meant.""
