This startling documentary, produced by the BBC, features leading historian David Reynolds with a brand new take on Nixon, whom he sees as a successful international statesman who helped thaw the Cold War. But the methods that won Nixon this acclaim also doomed his presidency in the Watergate scandal.
Using scribbled memos, audio recordings, and rarely-seen home movies, Reynolds sheds new light on Nixon's secrecy and his deception and mistrust of key aides — including his foreign policy adviser Henry Kissinger — as he governed largely from a private "den" — a hideaway office across the road from the White House.
An intimate psychological profile, "Nixon in the Den" reveals how Nixon was driven by a deep inferiority complex and ruthless ambition to escape a loveless, impoverished background. It shows how he clawed his way to the world's most powerful job, yet could never shake off his past.
It's a fascinating, must-see event for the entire family.
