Born on January 9, 1913, in Yorba Linda, California, Nixon served as Vice President under Dwight D. Eisenhower from 1953 to 1961 before narrowly losing the 1960 presidential election to John F. Kennedy in one of the closest contests in American history. After a defeat in the 1962 California gubernatorial race, Nixon staged one of the most improbable political comebacks of the era, winning the presidency in 1968 on the "Nixon's the One" platform with running mate Spiro Agnew, defeating Hubert Humphrey and third-party candidate George Wallace. His first term was defined by the end of the Vietnam War draft, the opening of relations with China, détente with the Soviet Union, and the Apollo 11 moon landing. Nixon secured a landslide re-election in 1972, carrying 49 states against Democratic challenger George McGovern in one of the largest electoral victories in U.S. history, before resigning the presidency in August 1974 amid the Watergate scandal. His campaigns and presidency continue to be a defining reference point for historians and collectors studying twentieth-century American political history. Condition: Used.
