Now he chronicles the inside story of his rise to power and all those who defended or fought him, from Nixon to Ted Kennedy to Clinton." "Yet Here's Where I Stand is more than just the story of Helms himself. It is a series of intimate portraits of people he befriended and, at times, beat back: Richard Nixon, his respect for whom turned to disillusion during the Watergate crisis; Jimmy Carter, a fellow son of the South with whom he had little in common; Ronald Reagan, the long-shot star whom Helms supported early and then saw become his favorite U.S. leader; Senate colleagues on both sides of the aisle, be they kindred spirits like Barry Goldwater or friendly foes like Paul Wellstone; and world leaders to whom he became close, as disparate as Margaret Thatcher and the Dalai Lama." "All the events of the recent past that shook and shaped America are recounted by Helms as he experienced them from his seat at the center of power, including the Watergate hearings, the fall of the Soviet Union, and the Clinton impeachment. A fitting coda to his impressive career, Here's Where I Stand is at once a revealing glimpse into the spirit of an important politician and an engaging journey through much of the past American century."--BOOK JACKET.
