Andrew Campanile The president calling: JFK

I found this podcast extremeley interesting as it gives us an insight into the secret political trivials of the presidents during important events such as the cold war, the watergate scandal, and time of racial tension in america. My podcast that i listened to was mainly about JFK and his conversations with eisenhower, Governor Barnett, and Doyle. I found eisenhowers view of cuba and russias alliance as weak interesting along with how he believed invading cuba would not result in nuclear war, which turned out to be true. i found the conversationd with governor Barnett the most interesting because of the racial segregation issues going on ther and how the polica and the Governor were not cooperating with JFK. these taped conversations are very important to american history
