Richard M. Nixon

The talent that Richard M. Nixon had when it came to negotiation of foreign affairs was second to none. This was evident when he brought the US involvement with Vietnam to an end, bringing home of POWs, establishment of diplomatic relations with China and ensuring the signing of Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty (with USSR). Other achievements are anti – cancer war and signing of anti – crime bill. Despite his popularity waning due to Watergate Scandal, he will still go down as one of the country’s best presidents.
