"In this 1980 bestseller, Nixon presents an effective analysis of strategic shortcomings and a prescription for renewed strength.

From his perspective as the former chief executive of the nation, he tells us how we can use our political, economic and military strengths to turn the tide." (Simon & Schuster).
