Attribution
Scott Laderman
Publication Details
Book, Duke University Press, 2009
Description
In Tours of Vietnam, Scott Laderman demonstrates how tourist literature has shaped Americans?

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.

The White House and the Middle East?from the Cold War to the War on Terror The Middle East is the beginning and the end of U.S. foreign policy: events there influence our alliances, make or break presidencies, govern the price of oil, and draw us into war.

The fascinating, behind-the-scenes story of Franklin Roosevelt?s attempt to pack the Supreme Court has special resonance today as we debate the limits of presidential authority. Burt Solomon skillfully recounts the major New Deal initiatives of FDR?s first term and the rulings that overturned them, chronicling as well the politics and personalities on the Supreme Court?from the brilliant octogenarian Louis Brandeis, to the politically minded chief justice, Charles Evans Hughes, to the mercurial Roberts, whose ?switch in time saved nine.?
