bro nope..i cant remember name of tat book.
Bt wht i cn remember is tat he said '' in his very famous book''.
So search out his famous books

I dont know whether it will be helpful for you or not. I can name of Nixon's book that I have read

1. Seize the Moment
2. In the Arena

Wish maker! clear my confusion whether we can opt for dead person as favourite personality (since Nixon died in 1994). As per my humble knowledge, only alive personalities can be have as favourite personalities.

its better that you prepare 2 dead and 2 living personalities.as far as psychological of peshawar centre is concerned, they asked about favourite personality in the last ten years, means who was alive during your last ten years.it would be better if you prepare both.

Well, that's the most bizarre thing, we, here at Isb centre were required to furnish 2 alive personalities. I dont know why they have different standars for different centres.

@ Ranjha M S! Thank you for providing the names of the books. I have gone through In the Arena and about to start Leaders by Nixon. In the arena is most probably going to be my favourite book. Did you take any pf his book as your favourite like Seize the moment, Six Crises, No more vietnames, Memiors etc?

Regarding the personalities, you have got the answer.

Madam: What do you think about history being taught in education?
