Memoirs of Richard Nixon. Richard Nixon. 1978.

This is the autobiography of Richard Nixon, the thirty-seventh president of the United States. He begins with his earliest recollections of a rural California boyhood and continues through the moment he and his family left the White House for the last time. It is the story of a political man, a man who lives and fights in the arena of American politics, winning great victories and suffering shattering defeats. Above all, it is the story of a man who chose to lead his life in public, but who remained a private person. Even his closest associates have contended that they never came to know the real Nixon.
