Kennedy and Richard Nixon each dreamed of becoming the great young leader of their age. First as friends, then as bitter enemies, they were linked by a historic rivalry that changed both them and their country. Fresh, entertaining, and revealing, \u003ci\u003eKennedy \u0026amp; Nixon\u003c\/i\u003e reveals that the early fondness between the two men--Kennedy, for example, told a trusted friend that if he didn't receive the Democratic nomination in 1960, he would vote for Nixon--degenerated into distrust and bitterness. Using White House tapes, this book exposes Richard Nixon's dread of a Kennedy \"restoration\" in 1972 drove the dark deeds of Watergate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Matthews tells his stories well, and Americans have a seemingly bottomless need to have these stories retold\" (\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review).\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChris Matthews is a distinguished Professor of American Politics and Media at Fulbright University Vietnam.
