ABSTRACT
There were serious men who had given up satisfying jobs on the outside because they were convinced Nixon stood on the threshold of greatness. To them, Nixon was the real thing, a genuine and inspired leader…. But there was another side to his nature-insecure, secretive, angry, vindictive-that lurked beneath the surface. … Nixon knew it was there and thought there were times when he needed to be mean in order to retain power in the face of countless hostile forces.
