The Nixons: A Family Portrait
Testimonials for The Nixons: A Family Portrait
Jonathan Aitken, former British Member of Parliament, former Treasury Secretary and Defence Minister in the British Cabinet, and author of Nixon: A Life (1993), winner of The Churchill Prize for political biography:
"An enthralling read, full of rare insights into life on the inside of the Nixon family. Some of the personal glimpses are poignant, others are quirky and unconventional. This fraternal portrait of the 37th President offers greater intimacy and understanding of Richard Milhous Nixon than can be found in the writings of most political commentators."
Bruce Herschensohn, Senior Fellow, Pepperdine University’s School of Public Policy and author of Taiwan: The Threatened Democracy (2006):
Through these pages, Ed Nixon is giving a precious gift to the generations yet unborn. With both depth and humility, he takes the reader on a journey through decades in our nation’s history with a view that no one can match. For the researcher, he not only fills in historical gaps; he corrects so many inaccuracies made by those who only recorded what they thought to be true. Ed Nixon was there from birth forward. He was there by blood, immediacy and character. If you think you know all about our 37th President and his family, read the book by his brother and give yourself the knowledge that has been either unknown or ignored by so many writers of our time."
James C. Humes, Visiting Historian at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, author of Churchill: Speaker of the Century, winner of the Athenaeum Award for biography, and of Nixon’s Ten Commandments of Statecraft:
Only a brother could offer an inside portrait of the roots, family upbringing, and values that shaped the thinking and principles of one of our most momentous Presidents. For the student of this complex statesman, Edward Nixon’s fascinating account should be required reading. He offers never before revealed insightful pieces of the President’s life and background. It is a needed contribution for rendering balance and accuracy to other biographical treatments.
