Book Talk on “The Last Campaign”—The Politics of Presidential Libraries

Moderator Tim Naftali, director of New York University’s Tamiment Library and former director of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library, will talk with former senior U.S. House legislative director and speechwriter Anthony Clark, author of The Last Campaign: How President’s Rewrite History, Run For Posterity & Enshrine Their Legacies. New York Times bestselling author Rick Perlstein (Nixonland; The Invisible Bridge) says, “This is an indispensable book for anyone interested in the politics of history and in the abuse of the public purse.”

The Last Campaign explores the hidden politics of presidential libraries, and “what presidents do to keep us from knowing what presidents do.”
