Conrad Black 
Invincible Quest 
The Life of Richard Milhous Nixon

The Invincible Quest is an authoritative biography of one of the most accomplished and controversial leaders of the twentieth century. Beginning with Richard Nixons birth to Quaker parents in 1913 and ending with his death in 1994, Conrad Black traces Nixons career, assessing both his achievements and the evolution of popular and historical thinking about him since his death.Drawing on recently opened tapes and documents, and on Blacks personal interviews with many of the major players in Nixons administration, The Invincible Quest reveals a new side of Nixon: a man who didnt have the advantage of charisma but was surprisingly self-assured and effective; a man dogged by political scandal yet seemingly unstoppable. Opinionated, balanced, and perceptive, The Invincible Quest makes a significant contribution to re-evaluating the idiosyncratic presidents entire, eventful career.From the Hardcover edition.
