Synopsis

In the Arena is the most personal, profound, and revealing memoir ever written by a major political figure. It is Richard Nixon's frankest, most outspoken book—which includes the inside story of his resignation from the Presidency and its aftermath.

President Nixon's previous books have brilliantly chronicled his public career and examined America's strategic role in the world. Now, for the first time, he shares his private thoughts and feelings on his long career, other great leaders at home and abroad, his own family, the state of the world, the arts of politics and diplomacy, and much more—expanding on his 1978 Memoirs and documenting his role as America's Elder Statesman.

It's a personal statement by one of the most important and influential figures in American history.

About Richard Nixon

Richard Nixon, the 37th president of the United States, was born on January 9, 1913 in Yorba Linda, California. First elected to public office in 1946 representing California’s 12th congressional district, Nixon was elected to the US Senate in 1950 and two years later won the first of two terms as vice president of the United States. Winning the presidency in 1968, he was re-elected in 1972 in one of the largest victories in US history. One of America’s most prolific former presidents, Nixon’s bestselling books influenced the conduct of American foreign policy long after he left the White House.

This book, particularly the chapters on philosophy and life advice, is an amazing read from one of the most intelligent presidents we’ve ever had. I’ve really begun looking at the life & career of Richard Nixon as a sort of a Greek tragedy over last few years. May and December of 1972 and how he han......more

Goodreads review by E.H. on December 30, 2017

President Nixon has written ten memoirs, and In the Arena is focused, as many of them are, on a specific topic. He doesn’t really go into his childhood or early life; this book is about what it takes to be President, and what you’re faced with when you become President. I’ll be honest; if you’re not......more
