Looking at some of America's most intriguing, beloved, and notorious presidents, Presidential Leaders explores both the professional and personal life of each president and the social issues of their times. Perhaps the most notorious president in U.S. history. Richard M. Nixon resigned because of his role in Watergate. This scandal and his leadership during the Vietnam Conflict contributed to his unpopularity, but it was the strength of his conviction that originally led him to the presidency that helped him to overcome this stigma in his later years. Nixon remains an enigma whose good actions are often overshadowed by those of his darkest moments.
