摘要
美国海军战争学院(US Naval War College)副教授尼古拉斯•埃文•萨兰塔克斯(Nicholas Evan Sarantakes)展示了理查德•尼克松(Richard Nixon)总统任期的新一面:这位体育狂热分子巧妙地利用体育来接触普通选民。水门事件和越南事件给尼克松下了如此鲜明的定义,以至于历史学家常常忽略了他的政治智慧和真正的受欢迎程度,但这本经过全面研究和简明扼要的书纠正了这种倾向。尽管这一论点在某些地方可能会进一步深入,但对于体育历史学家和尼克松本人来说,《范主》是一本有价值的读物。
Fan in Chief: Richard Nixon and American Sports, 1969–1974 by Nicholas Evan Sarantakes (review)
Nicholas Evan Sarantakes, an associate professor at the US Naval War College, presents a new side to Richard Nixon’s presidency: the sports fanatic who deftly deployed sports to reach ordinary voters. Watergate and Vietnam so define Nixon that historians often miss his political acumen and genuine popularity, but this thoroughly researched and concise study corrects this tendency. Although the argument could have been pushed further in some places, Fan in Chief is a valuable read for historians of sports and Nixon himself.
