Richard Nixon and the film industry arrived in Southern California in the same year; 1913. In Nixon and the Silver Screen; Mark Feeney offers a new and often revelatory way of thinking about one of our most controversial presidents: by looking not just at Nixons careermdash;but Hollywoods. Nixon viewed more movies while in office than any other president; and Feeney argues that Nixonrsquo;s story; both in politics and in his personal life; is nothing if not quintessentially American. Bearing in mind the events that shaped his presidency from 1969 to 1974; Feeney sees aspects of Nixonrsquo;s charactermdash;and the nationrsquo;smdash;refracted and reimagined in the more than 500 films Nixon watched during his tenure in the White House. The verdict? Nixonrsquo;s legacy; for better or worse; is forever representative of the ldquo;Silver Agerdquo; in Hollywood; shaping and being shaped by that flickering silver screen.
