Dwight Chapin
 

50 Years of Historical Perspective

 
Dwight Chapin witnessed it all, from the “You-won’t-have-Nixon-to-kick-around-anymore” 1962 Gubernatorial campaign through his world-changing trips to China and the Soviet Union and Nixon’s epic downfall.
 
Henry A. Kissinger:
The President’s Man is an engaging and provocative look at the Nixon presidency written by Dwight Chapin, someone with a unique experience in the Nixon White House.”
Karl Rove:
“In a revealing and deeply personal volume, Dwight Chapin has penned the ultimate 'draw back the curtain' on the presidency of Richard Nixon.”
 
Historians Douglas Brinkley and Luke Nichter:
“Dwight Chapin’s The President’s Man is the book we’ve been waiting 50 years for. Rarely in U.S. history has someone spent so much time with a president and lived to write about it. Filled with new details on every page and beautifully written, it will force us to reassess Richard Nixon yet again. It is sure to become an instant classic on the era!”
James Rosen:
“As the Watergate era passes into history, the voices of most key players now stilled, Dwight Chapin — a loyal and discreet member of Richard Nixon's inner circle before and after he captured the White House — emerges with an intimate and insightful memoir that students of the era never imagined we would see. With its eyewitness account of critical events, many previously undisclosed, The President’s Man brings to life the extraordinary cast of characters of that tumultuous time: Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Kissinger, John and Martha Mitchell, and, of course, the late president himself. Dwight Chapin's unsparing recollections make a significant addition to the literature of the Nixon administration and to the annals of the postwar presidency.”
Newt Gingrich:
“This book sheds a unique, interesting light on one of our most complicated and effective presidents. Because of Watergate, few people recall that Nixon was historically popular and remarkably successful. Anyone who cares about American history and politics should read The President's Man."
