Richard Nixon's election to the presidency in 1968 was an
improbable vindication for a man branded as a loser after
unsuccessful presidential and gubernatorial campaigns. Yet during
the 1966 mid-term elections, he emerged as the critical figure who
united the fractured Republican Party after the disastrous 1964
presidential election. Along the way, he sensed how large swaths of
the American public were moving against the Democrats, and how a
candidate could take advantage of this. Filling an important gap in
the Nixon literature, this book explores his dynamic reinvention
during the dark days of the mid-sixties-a period that mirrored his
1946-1952 rise from obscure congressman to Eisenhower's
vice-president. Beginning with his 1962 press conference after
losing the California governor's election and ending with his 1968
presidential victory, a far more human Nixon is revealed, unlike
the familiar caricature of the shady politician and orchestrator of
Watergate who would do anything to win.
In 1880, Ah Puch, an evil Mayan god, is determined to take over the
State of California and turn it into his own personal empire.

him. Along the way, Miles is frequently distracted by run ins with

more trouble. The west was never this wild 400 pages of Wild West
adventure.
