Richard Nixon (1913–1994)
Auteur de Mémoires
A propos de l'auteur
Born in California in 1913, Richard Milhouse Nixon had an excellent record at Whittier College and Duke University Law School before beginning to practice law. During World War II, Nixon served as a Navy lieutenant commander in the Pacific. After he left the service, Nixon was elected to Congress afficher plus and in 1950, won a Senate seat. Two years later, General Eisenhower selected Nixon, age 39, to be his running mate. They won, and Nixon learned much in the Vice Presidency. In 1960 he was nominated for President, but lost by a narrow margin to John F. Kennedy. In 1968, he again won his party's nomination, and went on to defeat Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey and third-party candidate George C. Wallace for the Presidency. His accomplishments while in office included revenue sharing, the end of the draft, new anticrime laws, and a broad environmental program. One of the most dramatic events of his first term occurred in 1969, when American astronauts made the first landing on the moon. In 1972, his administration was in turmoil as the Watergate Scandal was discovered and linked to officials of the Committee to Re-elect the President. As a result, Vice President Spiro T. Agnew resigned in 1973 and Nixon nominated, and Congress approved, House Minority Leader Gerald R. Ford as his new Vice President. Nixon himself felt it also prudent to resign rather than face impeachment, and so on August 8, 1974, he announced that he would resign the next day. At the time of Nixon's death, he had written several books on his experiences in public life and on foreign policy. Richard M. Nixon died on April 22, 1994. (Bowker Author Biography) afficher moins

Ce petit livre de la collection Les Grands Discours aux éditions Points est tout à fait charmant. Il réunit différents discours sur la thématique des démissions célèbres.
On doit saluer les propos introductifs, les quelques notes en bas de page et l’appareillage critique ainsi que la chronologie biographique qui permet un bref rappel du parcours des auteurs en présence.
On appréciera également le texte dans sa version originale. En effet, cette édition bilingue présente le grand avantage d’être un outil pédagogique tant pour les professeurs d’histoire que de langue mais aussi une édition de qualité pour les curieux et les savants.
Ce livre permet de mettre dans toutes les poches de grands discours qui ont fait l’histoire et qui sont quelques fois le produit de situations historiques. Ils sont aussi révélateurs de l’esprit des peuples et plus largement de l’humanité entière. On y retrouve quelques fois la marque du temps, le génie d’un homme ou d’une femme illustre ; rarement la bassesse profonde.
Une bonne édition, de qualité et à prix modique !… (plus d'informations)
