YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn "Reagan’s 1968 Dress Rehearsal," Dr. Gene Kopelson examines Ronald Reagan’s first quest for the Presidency in the late 1960s. Reagan’s goal at the time was to prevent a Nixon first-ballot victory. Kopelson reveals the brand new history that behind the scenes, Reagan had a hidden mentor on domestic politics and on world affairs – former President Dwight Eisenhower. Reagan’s public political foe at the time was Robert F. Kennedy. Kopelson's analysis relies on – and his talk will feature – newly uncovered audiotapes from candidate Reagan's days as Governor of California, the Eisenhower-Reagan correspondence and files, Ike's post-presidential diary, and interviews with 35 grassroots Reagan activists from 1968.
