The paper and electronic documents recently released from the Nixon Presidential Materials Project are also incorporated throughout.<br /> <br /> <i>A Companion to Richard M. Nixon</i> brings together the world’s leading Nixon experts from the United States and abroad in an essential guide to the historical, political, cultural, and psychological analyses of the 37th president of the United States and the evolution and current state of Nixon scholarship.
