      abstract = {"Like Genovese, I'm old enough to remember the Nixon  presidency, but most in our country are not. This matters  because Richard Nixon was the starting point of a profound,  and profoundly dark, trend line in the evolution of the  presidency. In this elegant and highly readable book,  Genovese draws that line for us. It is no coincidence that  in 1987, Richard Nixon penned a letter to Donald Trump  saying that if he ever ran for office, he would be 'a  winner!'" -- Robert J. Spitzer, Distinguished Service  Professor of Political Science, Emeritus SUNY Cortland,  Author, The Gun Dilemma (2023) and The Politics of Gun  Control (2024) "Carefully researched and elegantly written,  this book analyzes how the Nixon presidency and Watergate  scandal continue to inform American politics. It is  essential reading for understanding challenges to  democratic governance in the twenty-first century." --  Meena Bose, Kalikow School Executive Dean and Kalikow  Center Director of Presidential Studies, Hofstra  University, United States This book examines the Nixon  presidency, reviews the events surrounding Watergate and  the President' resignation, and unpacks the effects of  Watergate on our politics and public attitudes about the  political process. Genovese, a prolific scholar of the  American presidency who has published three previous books  on Nixon and Watergate, argues that the roots of modern  political dysfunction and slash-and-burn politics can be  traced to the impact of the Vietnam War, the Watergate  Crisis, the policies and activities of the Nixon  presidency, and the hyper-partisanship they spawned. Now,  50 years on from the scandal, it is time for a reappraisal  of Nixon's impact and a review of the impact he has had on  our political system and political culture. Michael  Genovese is President of the Global Policy institute,  Director of the Institute for Leadership Studies, and  Loyola Chair of Leadership at Loyola Marymount University,  USA. He is co-series editor of The Evolving American  Presidency.},
