Who was Richard Nixon? / by Megan Stine ; illustrated by Manuel Gutierrez.

Stine, Megan (author.). Gutierrez, Manuel, (Illustrator) (illustrator.).

Summary:

"On August 8, 1974, millions sat stunned as they watched Richard Nixon on TV when he announced he was stepping down as the President of the United States. He'd participated in a scandal that included secret tape recordings, a burglary, and a cover-up, and now his secrets and lies were catching up to him. How could Nixon, a man who had been reelected in a landslide victory just two years earlier, now be leaving office in disgrace? Author Megan Stine takes readers through President Nixon's life--from his childhood and military experiences during World War II--to his long political career and the Watergate scandal that tarnished his legacy and deepened American's mistrust of the government"-- Provided by publisher.
