Many people enjoy the wide array of programs offered by C-SPAN, and those with a penchant for American politics and related topics will enjoy this website immensely. The site contains a wide variety of unique audio programs culled from materials at the National Archives, presidential libraries, the Smithsonian, the Library of Congress and other sources. One place to start is by listening to any one of the oral histories recorded by different members of Congress who served in World War II or Vietnam, such as former Senator Max Cleland or Representative Sam Johnson. Of course, visitors will want to peruse the archived programs, which include those on Indira Gandhi, Medal of Honor recipients, and stories from the Iraq War. Visitors will definitely want to take a look at a 1967 interview with former President Dwight Eisenhower in which he talks about his time at Columbia University and his memories of a wide range of prominent figures in American history, such as George Meany.
