Who was Richard Nixon before his presidency?
But before he served as president from 1969 to 74, his resume in Washington was so vast, we spent a part one of this interview on his prior jobs. Member of the House of Representatives from California in the 1940s. His rise as a Cold War hawk. Danach wurde er in den Senaten bezeichnet, bevor er als Vizepräsident von Dwight Eisenhower im Jahr 1952 ausgewählt wurde. Nixon war ein politischer Komet, der über die Firmamenten unseres föderalen Governments schießt. Und das Remnant dieses Komets ist noch heute eine Geschichte. Es ist wichtig zu verstehen, warum. Es hat viel zu tun mit der immer kritischen Balance der Macht in Washington. Professor Nicole Hemmer is our returning guest. She is a professor of political history at Vanderbilt University.
Her latest book is Partisans, the conservative revolutionaries who remade American politics in the 1990s. Hey, Nikki, thanks for coming back. Great to be back with you. Those 1990s partisans in your book cut straight from the Nixon fabric, aren't they?
Boy, are they ever. And many of them, you know, worked within the Nixon administration. So there's a lot of overlap.
