<br/><br/> "In the weeks following Richard Nixon's resignation from the presidency, America was fundamentally shaken. Many wondered if the nation would ever recover from the Watergate scandal. During this time of intense paranoia, Nixon's every action was scrutinized and questionned. Exiled, Nixon was a fallen man - physically in shambles and sinking further and further into a deep depression." "Dr. John C. Lungren became a campaign physician during Nixon's 1952 vice-presidential bid, and their close relationship, both personal and professional, endured until Nixon's death over forty years later. After Watergate, Nixon made a personal plea to his old friend and physician: "I want you to take care of me because I trust you and I know you wouldn't want anything from me." Lungren assumed the responsibility of caring for Nixon - unaware that his own motives, methods, and decisions would ultimately arouse national criticism." "Lungren offers insights into Nixon's psyche that only a personal physician - and friend - could have. Lungren observed in Nixon the qualities that defined him as a leader and the weaknesses that led to his political fall."--BOOK JACKET.
