Real Richard Nixon: EARLY YEARS (9) - First Election & World War II

-Clip 9 (of 10)-
The Real Richard Nixon
Vol. 1: "Early Years"
Interview with Frank Gannon

In this interview/documentary segment, President Richard Nixon discusses his first campaign for higher office, the 1946 congressional campaign against incumbent Democrat Jerry Voorhis that sent Nixon to the Congress. He also talks about "Nick Nixon's Hamburger Stand" in the South Pacific during World War II and the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

The video clip comes from 38 hours of interviews that Nixon did with Frank Gannon in 1983 during eight days of interviews spread out over several months. Gannon used to work for Nixon and was well acquainted with the former president. Subsequently, Nixon is more at ease and open here than in most of his recorded interviews.

Thanks for posting this. While Reagan is my favorite president, Nixon is bar none the most fascinating.
