Have you ever thought you completely knew a story, inside and out,
only to see some new information that shatters what you had come to
accept as unquestioned fact? Well, Richard Nixon is that story, and
"Nixon's First Cover-up" is that new information.
With few exceptions, the religious ideologies and backgrounds of
U.S. presidents is a topic sorely lacking in analysis. H. Larry
Ingle seeks to remedy this situation regarding Nixon--one of the
most controversial and intriguing of the presidents. Ingle delves
more deeply into Nixon's Quaker background than any previous
scholar to observe the role Nixon's religion played in his
political career.
Nixon's unique and personally tailored brand of evangelical
Quakerism stayed hidden when he wanted it to, but was on display
whenever he felt it might help him advance his career in some way.
Ingle's unparalleled knowledge of Quakerism enables him to deftly
point out how Nixon bent the traditional rules of the religion to
suit his needs or, in some cases, simply ignored them entirely.
This theme of the constant contradiction between Nixon's actions
and his apparent religious beliefs makes "Nixon's First Cover-up
"truly a groundbreaking study both in the field of Nixon research
as well as the field of the influence of religion on the U.S.
presidency. Forty years after Nixon's resignation from office,
Ingle's work proves there remains much about the thirty-seventh
president that the American public does not yet know.
