5.0 out of 5 stars A crystal clear examination of the Cold War., October 10, 1999

By

This review is from: The Real War (Hardcover)

An excellent book. Mr. Nixon spelled out the realities of the Cold War conflict, the true nature of our Soviet adversary, and the steps necessary to win the conflict and prevent the devastating consequences of full scale military conflict.

The veracity of this work is borne out by the subsequent actions of the Reagan administration to call the Soviets' bluff and force the collapse of their empire.

Even in today's post Cold War era, this book should be read not only for its explanation of our past but also for its additional guidance in dealing with the hazards of today. The lessons from this work shed a stark light on the current administration's actions in military and diplomatic affairs.

This review is from: REAL WAR (Richard Nixon Library Editions) (Paperback)

The President's in depth knowledge of foreign affairs is amazing. Obama should be reading this book, instead of the Communist propaganda he gets from Hugo Chavez. I only wish by some miracle, we could get him back into the White House. The wisdom, the understanding, and the discernment of Richard Nixon is something not available from the finest minds of Princeton, Yale, or Harvard. I do not have enough words of praise for this book or for this very great president, our greatest Republican president. I only wish we would have a national holiday honoring his birthday; a national monument in Washington, D.C.; and a coin or bill with his likeness on it. Any serious student of history or politics must read this book.
