{"product_id":"cold-war-patriot-and-statesman-leon-friedman-9780313287879","title":"Cold War Patriot and Statesman: Richard M. Nixon","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe only apparent consensus about the Nixon Presidency is that his accomplishments in the foreign policy area far outshadowed those in the domestic arena. The advances for which he was responsible--in particular, the opening to China--brought the most significant improvement in foreign relations among the great powers in decades. The Nixon diplomacy worked, while many of his domestic programs failed. This was true, the editors of this Hofstra-sponsored volume maintain, because there was more of a sense of realism and caution in his dealings with foreign governments and a willingness to compromise and accommodate their interests--a tolerance he often lacked in the domestic area. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume outlines the main components of the Nixon foreign policy, beginning with the significant effort to bring China into the world community. The manner in which the Vietnam war was ended is examined, as are the evolution of American policy in the Middle East and the efforts at detente. With essays and observations from scholars and participants in the making of that policy, this volume is significant reading for all students of American foreign policy and the presidency.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leon Friedman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313287872\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313287879\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.88d","brand":"Leon Friedman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013727465727,"sku":"9780313287879","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b548fcf0-457b-46cd-babf-c6e4eab8cd8f.jpg?v=1767744394","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cold-war-patriot-and-statesman-leon-friedman-9780313287879","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
