Richard Reeves discusses his book, “President Nixon: Alone in the White House.” In researching the book, Reeves utilized a plethora of archival resources. He explains how his research on Nixon led him to write a biography dealing with the complexity of Nixon, the man and Nixon, the President. He goes on to discuss Nixon’s preference in dealing only with Haldeman, Ehrlichman, and Kissinger while avoiding the rest of his staff. He elaborates on Nixon’s tendency to keep even his advisors in the dark on foreign policy issues and how Nixon’s deception and self-imposed isolation effected his administration. Also in this interview, Reeves expounds on Nixon’s dealings with the press, as well as, China and other foreign governments.
