In the Arena

A Memoir of Victory, Defeat and Renewal

De: Richard Nixon

Narrado por: Richard Nixon

In the Arena is the most personal, profound, and revealing memoir ever written by a major political figure. It is Richard Nixon's frankest, most outspoken book—which includes the inside story of his resignation from the Presidency and its aftermath.

President Nixon's previous books have brilliantly chronicled his public career and examined America's strategic role in the world. Now, for the first time, he shares his private thoughts and feelings on his long career, other great leaders at home and abroad, his own family, the state of the world, the arts of politics and diplomacy, and much more—expanding on his 1978 Memoirs and documenting his role as America's Elder Statesman.

It's a personal statement by one of the most important and influential figures in American history.©1994 Richard Nixon; (P)2008 Simon and Schuster

Great Abridgement of the Text

This is a very well edited abridgement of the original book, and of course Nixon's narration is top notch.

Loved everything about this

I have been reading quite a bit about Richard Nixon and Pat Nixon. I was so happy to find this! Nixon has a terrific reading voice. He narrates very well. It’s just wonderful to hear him read his own book! I will be listening to this many times. I wish he had narrated more of his books. :-)

Excellent

Very interesting to hear his perspectives on foreign policy, people, other world leaders and the “ bureaucrats” (administrative / deep state) in Washington. Very interesting now some 30 years after these thoughts were first recorded to reflect back and compare them to how the turned out since his passing. Anyone interested in politics must listen to this.

Richard Nixons Eloquence

Very well spoke and revealing about the brilliant man. Richard Nixon was ahead of his time, much of what he spoke about regarding the future came to pass.
