Richard Milhous Nixon, the 37th president of the United States, was born on January 9, 1913 in Yorba Linda, California. First elected to public office in 1946 representing California’s 12th congressional district, Nixon was elected to the US Senate in 1950 and two years later won the first of two terms as vice president of the United States. Winning the presidency in 1968, he was re-elected in 1972 in one of the largest victories in U.S. history. One of America’s most prolific former presidents, Nixon’s bestselling books influenced the conduct of American foreign policy long after he left the White House.

"No More Vietnams" lays out Nixon's case extremely clearly, and it's devastating. Democrats, along with the mainstream media, cut off funding for the South Vietnamese, even though all Americans were out and even though the Soviet Union and China were funding the communist north to the hilt. Nixon brought the north to the bargaining table and achieved an agreement, despite the fact that Democrats in congress were itching to cut off funding to help the south. Despite the agreement, however, the communists saw what was happening and knew they could break the peace accords with impunity. Within two years they had broken the back of the south's resistance, and taken over all of Vietnam. In tandem with this, the communist Khmer Rouge of Cambodia also defeated the noncommunist government of Cambodia. In both cases, the results were devastating. Some 600,000 South Vietnames were driven into the sea and drowned. Two million Cambodians were basically murdered by a bunch of savage Cambodian communists. Since then, culpable American and other liberals have tried to piece together an argument to blame Nixon's actions for the genocide in Cambodia, but it's unconvincing. Nixon makes a convincing case that it was Democrats' cut and run policy that led directly to the mass murders.

The epitome of foreign policy theory.

Nixon is remembered for Watergate. That's unfortunate. His skill in foreign policy is breathtaking; his understanding of international relations transcends that of his predecessors, and certainly his successors (except Reagan, who drove the USSR to disband).

"Real Peace" must be understood as a document written during the Cold War, when the USSR and Communist China were our most challenging security concerns. Yet, in this day of international terrorism, its ideas certainly apply to current troubles.

NO MORE VIETNAMS is Nixon's polemic regarding our successes and failures in that conflict. We may have won that war, but - like Iraq - we lost the peace. The theme is simple. While many in the anti-war movement feel that "No More Vietnams" means we will never try again, it should mean we will never fail again. Unlike Vietnam, we will need to see things through beyond the war's "official" conclusion.
