Product Description
THE PRESIDENTS is an unprecedented eight-part survey of the personal lives and legacies of the remarkable men who have presided over the Oval Office. From George Washington to George W. Bush, THE PRESIDENTS gathers together vivid snapshots of all 43 Commanders in Chief who have guided America throughout its history--their powerful personalities, weaknesses, and major achievements or historical insignificance. Based on the book To the Best of My Ability, edited by Pulitzer Prize-winner James McPherson, THE PRESIDENTS features rare and unseen photographs and footage, unexpected insight and trivia from journalists, scholars, and politicians such as Walter Cronkite, David Brinkley, Wesley Clark, Bob Dole, and former President Jimmy Carter. Viewed within the changing contexts of each administration, the Presidency has never seemed more compelling and human. Narrated by Edward Herrmann (The Aviator), this three-DVD set is a proud addition to the award-winning documentary tradition of THE HISTORY CHANNELĀ®.

    5 out of 5 stars the presidents from the history channel.......2007-06-27

    really informative set. Lots of presidential information compiled in one simple set. News footage has been captured here that is hard to come by.

    5 out of 5 stars I wish this had been around when I was in school!.......2007-05-26

    This set brings to life the presidents in a way that makes them accessable to everyone. Entertaining and informative with outstanding production. I watch it with my kids and we have watched it many times.

    5 out of 5 stars The Presidents.......2007-01-25

    Very well written, this is one of the best programs about our founding fathers.

    5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Fantastic!.......2007-01-16

    We purchased this for my 11 year old boy for the holidays and we cannot get enough of it!

    It is wonderfully segmented so that if you just want put it on for an half an hour or so, no problem.

    The details and trivia of each of the presidents is tastefully done and as unbiased as is possible in this day and age.

    We're continuously learning more and more every day and it's interested my 6 year old as well. Now we all have trivia quiz's at the table and love it!

    Well done, History Channel and thanks!

    5 out of 5 stars A must have!.......2007-01-16

    If you love history, then you must add this set to your collection. My husband was hooked. This is like a good book that you just can't put down. I highly recommend this set.
