The 37th United States president, Richard Nixon went down in history as the most ignominious president of the twentieth century. Facing impeachment for his involvement in the “Watergate Scandal”, he became the first president to voluntarily step down from office. Before that, he served successfully as a U.S. Senator, Representative and vice-president, and as president oversaw a period of improved relations with traditional opponents such as the Soviet Union and China, and ended US involvement in the Vietnam War. This fast-paced narrative is an account of Nixon’s life.
