Downfall of Richard Nixon

We're repeating a classic-episode today - the downfall of President Richard Nixon. He is a complex figure. There are sides to him that get overlooked, like that he had a deeper understanding of foreign affairs than any other US President. But it's hard to see the light for the shade and the tragic fall that overshadows everything.

Don's guest today is Professor Nicole Hemmer whose latest book is "Partisans: The Conservative Revolutionaries Who Remade American Politics in the 1990s".

Produced by Freddy Chick. Edited by Tim Arstall. Senior Producer was Charlotte Long.
