Reviews

This is the second volume of Ambrose's biography, chronicling Nixon's drive to the presidency and his term of office. PW praised the author, saying ``he offers a more rounded and detailed view of Richard M. Nixon . . . than has yet been published'' and that he ``has turned up fresh material about the origins of the Watergate scandal.'' Photos. (Oct.)
