Abstract: Nixon Reconsidered is an eye-opening look at the Nixon phenomenon, arguing that Nixon's notoriety over Watergate has obscured the fact that he achieved much more than most people would like to admit. In this major work of revisionist history, Joan Hoff argues that the Nixon presidency "remains more important than those that have followed in its wake and most that preceded it in this century."
