Shortlisted for the 2015 Plutarch Award for Best Biography, the most humanizing portrait of the Nixons were likely to have (Douglas Brinkley) is a sweeping depiction of the turbulent fiftythreeyear marriage of Richard and Pat Nixon.When Americans remember the controversial Nixons, they usually focus on the political triumphs, the turbulent White House years, and the humiliating public downfall. But a very different image of the polarizing president emerges in this fascinating portrait of the relationship between Richard and Pat Nixon. Now, the couples recently released love letters and other private documents reveal that as surely as unremitting adversity can fray the fabric of a marriage, devotion can propel it to surmount disgrace and defeat.In Pat and Dick, biographer Will Swift brings his years of experience as a historian and marital therapist to this unique examination of a longmisunderstood marriage. Nixon the man was enormously complicated: brilliant, insecure, sometimes coldly calculating, and capable of surprising affection with his wife. Much less is known about Pat. With the help of personal writings and interviews with family and friends, Swift unveils a woman who was warm and vivacious, yet much shrewder and more accomplished than she has been given credit for. From Dicks unrelenting crusade to marry the glamorous teacher through the myriad crises of his political career, the Nixons story is filled with hopes and disappointments, both intimate and global.Written by a leading presidential biographer who narrates with grace and style (Kirkus Reviews), this remarkable biography shows us a couple who, despite their trials, managed to find the strength, courage, and resilience to sustain a true connection for more than half a century.
