Publisher's Note
Nixon and I met for the first time on October 2, 1989, and he was exceedingly generous with the commodity that was the most precious to him: time.... And, surprisingly for a man who had been so often damaged by those he trusted, Nixon trusted me immediately. I became a member of his small circle of advisers. I listened as he confided his views on international affairs and world leaders, American politics and policy, Watergate, and his own personal career, and human nature.--Monica CrowleyNixon off the Record is the unique story of Richard Nixons intense political life after he left the presidency--told by Monica Crowley, Nixons foreign-policy assistant and political confidante during the last years of his life.With fully reconstructed conversations based on extensive notes made at the time, Nixon off the Record puts the reader in the room with the thirty-seventh president, listening to his views on leadership, his opinions of White House predecessors and successors, his activities and thoughts during the 1992 presidential campaign and election, and his assessment of Bill Clintons first year in office and his potential challengers in 1996. Nixons views give voters uncommon criteria by which to measure presidential candidates--including Bob Dole--and their ability to exercise effective leadership.Richard Nixon was one of the most controversial and indestructible presidents of the twentieth century. With her privileged perspective and unlimited access to Nixon, Crowley has written a perceptive and spirited memoir that shows not just what Nixon thought in the last years of his life but who he was. She offers an unprecedented behind-the-scenes view of Nixons activities and opinions, giving the reader a front-row view of recent American political history.Nixon's unparalleled experience placed him in a unique position to judge leaders who had come before and after. His assessments are candid, astonishing, and sometimes explosive. This book places those judgments in context and brings them alive for the last American presidential election of the twentieth century.

Industry reviews
"This is the most honest profile of Richard Nixon that I've read--and I've reported on Nixon for 38 years." "Larry King Live" - Hugh Sidey "Mr. Nixon emerges as smart, savvy and genuinely interested in the global consequences of American foreign policy, but he also comes across as self-aggrandizing, petty, vindictive, suspicious, egotistical and manipulative....All this makes for some fascinating, if gossipy reading." New York Times - Michiko Kakutani (08/06/1996) "In 'Nixon Off the Record' we get the raw truth....What's most impressive in 'Nixon Off the Record', however, is the continuity of his storytelling....Even for Nixon-haters it must be comforting to know that nothing ever changes in the script..." Washington Post Book World - Christopher Matthews (08/04/1996) "It's a book worthy to be kept a few shelves down from Trevor-Roper's great 'Hitler's Table Talk' as a monument to rambling self-ignorance. Your mouth falls open as, time and again, the old crook misses the irony of his repeated complaint that Bill Clinton has lowered the tone of modern politics." Spectator - David Hare (10/05/1996) "This notable book is a fine valediction." Literary Review - Paul Johnson (07/19/1998)
