"Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God." - Matthew 5:9

"I don't think any president has been more wrongly persecuted than Nixon, ever. I just think he was a saint." - Ben Stein

From Ben Stein, New York Times bestselling author, humorist and former speech writer for both Nixon and Ford administrations - a powerful (and humorous) thinker on economics, politics, education and history and motivation - a personal memoir of his friend Richard Nixon: The man, patriot, president, peacemaker and visionary.

The Richard Nixon Stein remembers and lovingly describes has almost nothing to do with the Richard Nixon as portrayed in most media. In Stein's view, Richard Nixon was a born peacemaker, a saint. Stein believes Nixon was tortured, abused, beat up by the Beautiful People, but through it all, above all, he was a peacemaker, a trait he inherited from his Quaker mother.

Nixon's goal, as he often explained to Stein and others on his staff, was to create "a generation of peace." And Stein argues he did it; Nixon gave the United States the longest sustained period of peace since World War II. In Stein's view, if we no longer have to fear Russian ICBMs screaming out of hell to start nuclear war, we can thank the shade of Richard Nixon.

Why did the media hate him so much? Stein argues it was because Nixon was vulnerable and showed it when attacked. He did not have the tough hide of a Reagan or an Obama. Like the schoolyard bullies they are, the media went after Nixon for his vulnerability.

An insider's account of Nixon the man, president and peacemaker, The Peacemaker: Nixon: The Man, President and My Friend will make you reconsider the life and legacy of 37th President of the United States.

Ben Stein is the most famous economics teacher in America. His comedic role as the droning economics teacher in Ferris Bueller's Day Off is by far the most widely viewed scene of economics teaching in economics history and has been ranked as one of the fifty most famous scenes in movie history. But in real life, Ben Stein is a powerful thinkers on economics, politics, education and history and motivation - and like his father, Herbert Stein, considered one of the great humorists on political economy and how life works in this nation.

Stein in real life has a bachelor's with honors in economics from Columbia, studied economics at the graduate level at Yale, is a graduate of Yale Law School ( valedictorian of his class by election of his classmates in 1970), and has as diverse a resume as any man in America.

His background includes...poverty lawyer for poor people in New Haven, trade regulation lawyer for the FTC, speech writer for Presidents Nixon and Ford, columnist and editorial writer for The Wall Street Journal, columnist for The New York Times, teacher about law and economics at UC, Santa Cruz and Pepperdine. Stein was the 2009 winner of the Malcolm Forbes Award for Excellence in Financial Journalism. Stein was the co-host, along with Jimmy Kimmel, of the pathbreaking Comedy Central game show, Win Ben Stein's Money, which won seven Emmys, including ones for Ben and Jimmy for best game show host(s); surely making him the only well-known economist to win an Emmy. Presently, he writes a column for The American Spectator and NewsMax, and is a regular commentator on Fox News, CNN, Newsmax TV and on CBS Sunday Morning. Stein has written or co-written roughly 30 books, mostly about investing, many of them New York Times bestsellers, including: The Capitalist Code: It Can Save Your Life and Make You Very Rich and The World According to Ben Stein: Wit, Wisdom & Even More Wit.
