The American Experience - Republicans
Celebrate America's 20th-century Chief Executives with "The Republicans," a fabulous compilation from the award-winning PBS series "The American Experience," featuring "Ike," "Nixon" and "Reagan." "Ike" presents a fresh look at Dwight D. Eisenhower, a top military commander who evolved from World War II hero into a skilled politician, tough Cold Warrior and one of our least understood Presidents. "Nixon" revisits the life and legacy of Richard M. Nixon, a man of contradictions, grand visions and petty grievances who used the power of the office to reach for a bold vision of world peace. One of the most popular Presidents ever, the double-disc "Ronald Reagan" traces the actor-turned-politician's colorful life from boyhood through his leadership in negotiating arms reduction via military might and overseeing the end to the Cold War.
