A treasure-trove of mid-twentieth century interviews for your teaching pleasure.
The University of Texas, perhaps trying to make amends for unleashing my sister’s bachelor’s degree on the world, has posted a public archive of interviews from Mike Wallace’s 1957-1960 interview program.
History teachers covering the Cold War will find hours of material here, including US defectors, a pre-Vietnam Henry Kissinger, the former leader of the American Communist party, and on and on.
Through the site, you can download the original video or audio, or cut straight to the printed transcript.
