History of the infamous "Daisy" H-bomb commercial
sept 7 43 years ago this commercial made history......






"On the 43rd anniversary of its first broadcast on NBC's Monday Night at the Movies (1964) CONELRAD has published a complete history of the infamous and iconic Daisy Ad. Bill Geerhart spent the last year researching the story and documenting its disputed authorship.

In addition to the collected video, audio, and historical documents, Bill interviewed the 'Daisy Girl' Birgitte Olsen. As a bonus we've posted video of 'Fighting Words' -- a 1951 military training film about propaganda starring James Gregory. Enjoy!"
