Reinventing Richard Nixon : A Cultural History Of An American Obsession

Attribution
Daniel Frick
Publication Details
Book, University Press of Kansas, 2008
Description
He cites reinventions of Nixon from the late 1980s, particularly the museum at the Richard Nixon Library and Birthplace, to demonstrate the resilience of certain national mythic narratives in the face of liberal critiques. With dozens of illustrations–Nixon posing with Elvis (the National Archives’ most requested photo), Nixonian cultural artifacts, classic editorial cartoons–no other book collects in one place such varied images of Nixon from so many diverse media. Whether your image of Nixon is shaped by his autobiography Six Crises, Oliver Stone’s surprisingly sympathetic film Nixon, John Adams’s landmark opera Nixon in China, or by the saga of Watergate, Reinventing Richard Nixon expands on all perspectives.

In this richly detailed account of mass media images, David Ruth looks at Al Capone and other “invented” gangsters of the 1920s and 1930s.

In Love With Night : The American Romance With Robert Kennedy

Attribution
Ronald Steel
Publication Details
Book, Simon & Schuster, 2001
Description
More than thirty years after his death, Robert Kennedy remains a potent figure in American mythology, a man equally revered and reviled. He delves into the contradictions of Kennedy’s public persona — an ardent prosecutor who abused the law, a champion of civil rights who allowed the FBI to torment Martin Luther King, a fervent Cold Warrior who opposed the Vietnam War — and he uncovers the private man who calculatingly built his own legend and died before he was truly tested.
