Nixon as Wilson rival in Whalen critique of Nixon’s tactics
The essay reviews Richard J. Whalen’s book Catch the Falling Flag, noting Whalen’s view that Nixon lacks inner steadiness and relies on technocrats like Ehrlichman and Haldeman. It contrasts Nixon’s Wilsonian Foreign policy ambitions with his expedient domestic politics and warns of a hollow reign rather than governing. The piece reflects on Nixon’s bargaining with Moscow and Peking and the need for a fuller account of Kissinger era diplomacy.
