réf. 190510New York: Warner Books 1982. First edition first printing presentation copy inscribed by the 37th President on the half-title "To Charlton Heston - from one of his fans - Richard Nixon 1982". This is a fine association copy - aside from Heston's role as perhaps the greatest American actor of the early post-war decades whom Nixon clearly admired Heston was a prominent supporter of Nixon's presidential bid in 1972. In the 1950s Heston had endorsed liberal Democratic candidates in the 1960s more centrist Democrats and finally in the 1970s switched to the Republicans. In the 1972 election he starred in a lengthy campaign video explaining how Nixon had secured his political switch. During Nixon's presidency Heston served on the National Council on the Arts and as a cultural diplomat for the State Department. Into the 1980s Heston was a leading conservative figure active in the National Rifle Association famously challenging gun control advocates to take his rifle "from my cold dead hands" and campaigning against affirmative action and other culture war issues. Leaders offers a detailed examination of the relationship between Nixon and various foreign leaders whom he met throughout his lifetime. The book met with critical praise aiding the rehabilitation of his political image following his resignation of the presidency in 1974. Octavo. Original black quarter cloth spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. Hinges a little tender rear free endpaper creased; unclipped jacket with light creasing and tiny nicks at extremities: a very good copy in very good jacket. hardcover

réf. 30521971. Very Good. Contents Summary: By a vote of 254 to 158 the House rejected the Nedzi-Whalen Amendment that would have prohibited the use of funds to be used in Southeast Asia particularly Vietnam after the end of 1971. It was created by opponents of the Vietnam War who supported the reduction of the military budget and a timetable of American forces in Vietnam.

Dated: June 24 Letter in full: "June 24 1971 Dear Roy: During consideration of the military procurement bill for the coming fiscal year a number of amendments were proposed seeking to legislate a deadline for American involvement in Indochina. The debate centered on the Nedzi-Whalen amendment which the House rejected June 17th by a vote of 254 to 158. This action by the House of Representatives helped materially to strengthen the efforts of this Administration to achieve a cease-fire the release of American prisoners and the negotiation of a just peace. I appreciate very much your vote and those cast by 253 of your colleagues. While we continue to reduce American forces in Indochina various proposals may be advanced in Congress similar to Nedzi-Whalen. Their adoption would seriously jeopardize the progress we are making in ending American involvement in Vietnam and in achieving a just peace. I look forward to working with you in the months ahead so that together we might increase the chances not only of ending this war but also of ensuring that other Americans will not have to fight other wars in the future.

1981réf. 1882Washington DC: The White House 1981. Framed. Fine. White House Photograph signed by President Ronald Reagan Jimmy Carter Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon. With the assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat there was concern that sending a sitting United States President would be too dangerous. Protocol demanded that a high level delegation from the United States was needed for the trip but sending less senior officials would be viewed as a lack of engagement by the United States. Secretary of State Alexander Haig suggested that the 3 former living Presidents attend which all three accepted. With Richard Nixon in political exile since Watergate President Carter having just lost an election and President Ford getting pressure from his family to avoid dangerous situations all three had their reasons not to attend. This trip also marked a thawing in relations between the living former presidents with President Carter and President Ford striking up a lifelong friendship afterwards. This photograph marked the first time that 4 sitting Presidents had joined together at the White House. Photograph signed by President Ronald Reagan along with former presidents Jimmy Carter Gerald R. Ford and Richard Nixon. Framed in contemporary black frame gold edge museum archival glass. A fine signed copy. Provenance: From the office of Katherine Shepherd White House Correspondence office staff.

1959réf. 884698Washington D.C. 1959. To columnist and television reporter of Meet the Press Lawrence E. Spivak on Vice Presidential stationery with a 5 page memo carbon unsigned describing his recent meeting with Fidel Castro. Nixon admires Castro's charisma and bravery here in this memorandum summarizing his discussion with the Cuban leader on April 19 1959. Nixon characterizes him as having" those indefinable qualities which make him a leader of men." But there was also much that disturbed him. Everything that Castro was doing from suspending elections to the executions of political opponents he justified as carrying out "the will of the people." Nixon says: "this almost slavish subservience to prevailing majority opinion - the voice of the mob - rather than his naive attitude toward Communism and his obvious lack of understanding of even the most elementary economic principles which concerned me most in evaluating what kind of a leader he might eventually turn out to be." In his conclusion Nixon says that because Castro has "the power to lead.we have no choice but at least to try to orient him in the right direction." Together 6 pages attached memo on carbons with some small glue remnant on the lower left corners fifth page of memo laid down with some glue residue showing. An historically important set of documents. 4to. unknown
1986réf. 941029/08/1986. ""Too much of the debate has focused only on the possibilities of developing a one hundred percent leak-proof population defense which even the strongest proponents agree could not be developed until next century."" President Nixon made his mark in the area of foreign policy. Although he had made his own career as a militant opponent of Communism Nixon saw opportunities to reduce the temperature of the Cold War by improving relations with the Soviet Union. One of these was the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks negotiations which were a series of meetings beginning in Helsinki that lasted from November 17 1969 until May 1972. After a long deadlock the first results of SALT I came in May 1971 when an agreement was reached over anti-ballistic missiles systems. Further discussion brought the negotiations to an end in Moscow on May 26 1972 when Richard Nixon and Leonid Brezhnev signed both the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty and the Interim Agreement Between The United States of America and The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on Certain Measures With Respect to the Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms. These served to slow the growth in nuclear weapons and halt extensive proliferation. A premise of the Cold War mutually assured destruction meant simply that neither the US nor the USSR would attack the other because it would ensure that both would be obliterated. You could get the first shot in but unless you wiped out the entire capacity of the other side in one blow you would ensure your own demise. In 1969 Nixon announced an anti-ballistic missile defense system called Safeguard which aimed to protect the deterrent nuclear force of the United States its missile fields to maintain that deterrent capacity. This happened at the same time as the country was publicly debating the possibility of protecting entire US cities in a shield the technology of which did not exist. Safeguard never fully operated at its intended capacity and in fact was shut down soon after it launched. Ronald Reagan was not an active proponent of mutually assured destruction MAD. In 1983 he proposed the Strategic Defense Initiative SDI to use ground-based and space-based systems to protect the United States from attack by ballistic strategic nuclear weapons. The initiative focused on strategic defense rather than the prior strategic offense doctrine of MAD. It was dubbed ""Star Wars"" by critics. The goal was to neutralize the Soviets' nuclear capacity regardless of the success of ongoing negotiations. The Soviets strongly opposed the Strategic Defense Initiative as they could not afford to match the U.S. in this area and they felt that if successful the concept of mutually assured destruction would be lost and the U.S. would be in a dominant position. In November of 1985 Gorbachev and Reagan were to meet in Geneva for a major summit. Both the Soviet Union and the United States were seeking to cut the number of nuclear weapons with the Soviets seeking to halve the number of nuclear-equipped bombers and missiles and the U.S. desiring to ensure that neither side gained a first-strike advantage and to protect rights to the Strategic Defense Initiative. These ideas of arms limitations and strategic defense were the cornerstones to the Cold War negotiations between the two global powers in a bi-polar world. One of those who joined the debate was U.S. Grant Sharp a 4-star admiral who was Commander in Chief of the US Pacific Fleet and of US Pacific Command including during the Gulf of Tonkin Incident. He wrote a piece in the San Diego papers which advocated the protection of US-based counter-force assets which touched on a subject central to Nixon's presidency and close to his heart missiles that would serve as a first-strike deterrent. Typed letter signed August 29 1986 New York City to Admiral U.S. Grant Sharp. ""Through our mutual friend Bill Stover I have just learned of Mrs. Sharp's passing and I want to take this opportunity to express my deepest sympathy. You can take comfort in the fact that she was by your side for over fifty-six years as you traveled all over the world during your career of outstanding service in the United States Navy. Mrs. Nixon joins me in extending our best wishes to you and your family. Sincerely Richard Nixon. ""P.S. I also want to you that I thought your column on SDI which appeared in the San Diego Union was right on target. Too much of the debate has focused only on the possibilities of developing a one hundred percent leak-proof population defense which even the strongest proponents agree could not be developed until next century. On the other hand a defense of our counter-force missile silos which presently are vulnerable to a first strike from Soviet Union's SS-18s could be deployed in the near future. Unless the Soviet Union agrees to offensive cuts which would remove its first-strike capability we have no choice but to go forward with an SDI program which would deny them that capacity."" unknown

réf. 195101New York: Warner Books 1982. From one leader to another First edition a superb presentation copy inscribed by the author on the half-title: "To Prime Minister Harold Wilson with warm regards from Richard Nixon 1982". Wilson was prime minister at both the beginning and the end of Nixon's presidency serving from 1964 to 1970 and again from 1974 to 1976. Despite their political differences the two men enjoyed cordial personal relations. Welcoming Wilson to Washington on 27 January 1970 Nixon called him "an old friend not only in government but as an old friend personally". Anglo-American relations improved during their first period in office together. Relations became more difficult under Wilson's successor Edward Heath who gave priority to British entry into the European Economic Community. Wilson continued to regard close relations with Washington as central to British foreign policy and his return to office in March 1974 brought renewed contact with Nixon. Following Nixon's disgrace after Watergate on a 1978 visit to the United Kingdom Wilson was happy to meet with Nixon who was at that time shunned both by the James Callaghan government and by Edward Heath. Leaders combines political portraits with Nixon's personal recollections of the statesmen he encountered during his career. It formed part of the series of books interviews and foreign-policy interventions through which he sought to rebuild his public reputation after Watergate. Wilson's library was dispersed by auction in 2019. Octavo. Original black quarter cloth blue paper-covered sides spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. Housed in a black cloth flat-back box by the Chelsea Bindery. Note in Wilson's hand "258" to rear blank and to rear flap of jacket presumably referencing the page detailing De Gasperi and the 1982 Polish demonstrations. A little light soiling to top edge and thumbing to book; unclipped jacket with some wear at extremities: a very good copy in very good jacket. hardcover

Accompanied by an original black and white photograph of DiMaggio and Nixon shaking hands in the White House also from DiMaggio's personal collection. In near fine condition. Included is letter of provenance from DiMaggio's estate signed by his two granddaughters. An exceptional association linking two American icons. President Richard Nixon was an avid baseball fan he attended 11 games while serving in office and in 1985 he arbitrated the dispute between the Major League Baseball owners and umpires over expanded league playoff bonuses. Nixon made headlines when on June 22 1972 a reporter covering the upcoming national election asked the President to name his all-time favorite ballplayers. Nixon's long list of great players inspired the reporter to make a unique request: the first ever presidential All-Star team. With the assistance of his son-in-law David Eisenhower Nixon put together the team and it appeared in national newspapers on June 30 1972. American baseball legend Joe DiMaggio is widely considered one of the greatest baseball players of all time and is best known for his 56-game hitting streak May 15 - July 16 1941 a record that still stands. DiMaggio was one of the first sportsmen recognized in the Presidential Sports Award Program created by Richard Nixon in 1972. Rawlings Official Ball National League unknown books
