Nixon Now Podcast

This month marks the 50th anniversary of the death of Dwight D. Eisenhower, America’s World War II Hero General, the planner of Normandy, and the 34th President of the United States. Richard Nixon served as Vice President under Eisenhower. The two enjoyed a friendship and complex relationship that would last nearly two decades. On this edition of the Nixon Now podcast we speak with Irv Gellman. Dr. Gellman is a Nixon biographer. His first book about Nixon, "The Contender" covered the Congressional years. His most recent book is "The President and the Apprentice, Eisenhower and Nixon, 1952 to 1961." Photo: President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Vice President Richard Nixon.
