[YouTube] The Truth About Richard Nixon


Recommended Posts


 
Richard Nixon was a controversial United States president during the Cold War against the Soviet Union. Even though he was re-elected after a landslide victory in 1972, he became the only president in US history to resign from office. Why?

Watergate. A word that has become synonymous with the Nixon administration.

Indeed, the president's abuse of power shocked America - spying, harassing political enemies, silencing critics and fighting to keep his darkest secrets away from the public eye.

Even though he ended the American involvement in the Vietnam War, was Nixon actually a peacemaker? How are the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal related?

If you think Watergate was a scandal, you don't know anything about Richard Nixon.
