Description
Celebrate America's 20th-century Chief Executives with "The Democrats," a fabulous compilation from the award-winning PBS series "The American Experience," featuring "FDR," "The Kennedys," and "LBJ." The double-disc "FDR" profiles Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the longest-serving President, who enacted the New Deal and steered the country through the Great Depression and World War II, changing American Politics in the process. "The Kennedys" focuses on one of America's most influential families (including President John F. Kennedy) and how the Kennedy dynasty evolved into the central political drama of the mid-20th century. "LBJ" is the definitive story of the "Man from Texas," President Lyndon B. Johnson, whose "take no prisoners" style of bare-knuckle politicking made him a controversial and compelling leader.Customer Reviews:
Ultimate documentaries regarding these Gentlemen.......2004-02-29
LBJ's segment is my particular favorite. While men with FDR and JFK's personality could be elected today... the days of men like LBJ... for good or bad... are over. He was way too animated and crude for today's candidate... which makes for wonderful recollections and storytelling found in his DVD.
Fantastic History, As Well As Entertainment!.......2001-10-30
