President Nixon's accomplishments while in office included ending American fighting in Vietnam War, improving international relations, ending the military draft, new anticrime laws, and a broad environmental program. As promised, he appointed Justices of conservative philosophy to the Supreme Court. One of the most dramatic events of his first term occurred in 1969, when American astronauts made the first moon landing. Following the Watergate scandal, Nixon resigned from office on August 9th, 1974. In his last years, Nixon gained praise as an elder statesman. He wrote numerous books on his experiences in public life and on foreign policy. This Bible was signed by President Nixon during his second term (won in a landslide election) and is inscribed to a member of his cabinet.
