Description of  Frost/Nixon: Behind the Scenes of the Nixon Interviews

Following the resounding success of the eponymous West End and Broadway hit play, Frost/Nixon tells the extraordinary story of how Sir David Frost pursued and landed the biggest fish of his careerand how the series drew larger audiences than any news interview ever had in the United States, before being shown all over the world.
