Although many Nixon aides and associates cooperated with Ambrose, Nixon himself declined to be interviewed. Nixon told an interviewer that he did not read the book after publication either, labelling Ambrose as "just another left-wing historian". Most reviewers, however, have attested to Ambrose's overall fairness.[1][2][3][4]
