内容説明
As he fell from power, Richard Nixon caused the greatest constitutional crisis since the Civil War, and an obscure and stolid Middle-American came in to restore belief in American democracy. This book tells the story of that unique transfer of power when, without a vote by the American people, Gerald Ford became the 38th President of the United States. From his traumatic early life to his fledgling political career to a seat in the House of Representatives, Gerald Ford worked his way up to a high level of trust and respect, and ultimately won the prize he never sought - the Presidency. Once in the White House, Ford stopped Nixon's trial and saved him from a sure prison sentence. Was there a deal between Ford and Nixon? Why did Ford pardon Nixon? James Cannon explores these and other controversial questions surrounding the pardon, and provides answers from those who were there.
