About This Item
New York and London: W W Norton & Co Inc, 1981. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7. . Type: Hardback First Edition. Hardcover Book and Jacket in Very Good Condition. An exploration of the mysteries of the evolution of Nixon's personality and character; a carefully documented evolution of his lying, especially the revelation of a pattern of "unnecessary lies" rooted in his childhood. A picture of a complex and divided man, given to grandiose fantasies, massive denial--well, one will just have to read it to have any understanding of his character. Clean, tight, solid, unmarked book, square with sharp corners; faded on upper edge of front board, bookplate stamp on front endpaper. Unclipped Jacket in protective cover is clean, some wear to edges, small closed tear to spine head. 574 pages. 9.75 x 6.5 inches. Norton, New York and London, 1981.
