This intriguing book poses many “what if” questions about former President Richard Nixon. Journey to an alternate history of the presidency that takes place after Nixon wins a close victory in the 1960 presidential election against John F. Kennedy. Nixon is exposed as the real Nixon, the man behind the image. Follow his team as it seeks victory during the primaries, campaign, and election. In this gripping new reality, learn how Nixon might have dealt with the cold war, Cuba, foreign relations, civil rights, organized crime, involvement in Vietnam, and other issues of the day. Join in the hunt to discover, as the title suggests, if Richard M. Nixon was more a lion or a fox? In his book A Lion... A Fox: The Alternate Presidency of Richard M. Nixon, Grant Teller introduces the main influences and people in Nixon’s life. Meet Murray Chotiner, Nixon’s right hand man and chief campaign manager; Bebe Rebozo, his best friend, who had influence with a nefarious group of campaign contributors; and the fictional Anthony Masters, an energetic and idealistic young man who idolized Nixon and worked as an important staffer. Then there were the women in his life: Pat Nixon, his trusted and devoted wife; and Rose Mary Woods, the gatekeeper secretary, who saw herself as the guardian to the president. What impact would this alternate Richard Nixon have on history if he had won the presidency in 1960 instead of 1968, and how would he have changed the world?

This book presents a unique approach to person-centered anthropology, providing a new form of practice theory that incorporates and explains sources of cultural change. Built around the learning and use of autobiographical narrative forms, it draws from, and expands on, phenomenological, psychological, and moral anthropological traditions. The author draws on extensive original fieldwork in Thailand to explore questions including: how Buddhism has dealt with the appearance of global capitalism; and why some Thais continue to pursue nirvana-oriented Buddhist practices when karma-oriented reward-systems seem to be more satisfying as a whole. Where previous person-centered ethnographies have explored the ways in which social forces cause individuals to conform to cultural norms, this work advances the analysis by focusing on how ideas are transmitted from individuals to into wider society. This book will provide fresh insights of particular interest to psychological, phenomenological and narrative anthropologists; as well as to researchers working in the fields of religious and Asian studies.
