Nixon's accomplishments were “great” history will judge him generously. Stephen Ambrose (historian, biographer): Noted that Nixon was “brilliant on foreign policy,” and without Watergate, he might have been remembered as a near-great president. Conrad Black (biographer, businessman): In his book Richard M. Nixon: A Life in Full (2007), he argued Nixon’s achievements on foreign affairs and domestic policy outweighed his crimes. Patrick Buchanan (Nixon speechwriter, conservative commentator): Calls Nixon one of the most consequential presidents, pointing to his China opening, Vietnam exit, and Middle East diplomacy Many international relations scholars — even those critical of Nixon’s ethics — propose that his geopolitical strategy with China and the USSR was “great statesmanship.” Henry Kissinger (Nixon’s National Security Advisor/Secretary of State) consistently argued Nixon’s vision fundamentally reshaped the Cold War balance A number of polls and rankings show Nixon gradually rising in historical rankings (though never near the top). Some conservatives (and a few centrists) propose that Nixon’s creation of the EPA, Title IX enforcement, revenue sharing, and healthcare proposals showed he was more pragmatic and forward-thinking than many presidents who followed.
