The Memoirs of Richard Nixon is an autobiography written by Richard Nixon, who was the thirty seventh president of the United States. Nixon beings his story with his earliest recollections of California boyhood, and continues on to when his family left the white house for the last time. Sometimes the memoirs are released in a volumed set. The complete work is a total 1120 pages long, if one includes the index, otherwise the autobiography it's self is only 1090 pages long. Richard Nixon's self image is considered to be an extraordinary historical document, and intensely personal.
