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 CHANNEL. DVD Features: Feature-length Bonus Program "All The Presidents' Wives"; Timeline of U.S. Presidents; Interactive Menus; Scene Selection

 Great content December 18, 2008
The content presents an interesting synopsis of each US president from George Washington to George W. Bush's first term. Each of the president's personal attributes is cleverly presented in a "baseball card" format, with additional insights by notable historians.
Excellent documentary December 13, 2008
Nice set. Box arrived fast and in good condition. A fascinating and fresh look at the founding fathers.
Amazing Product December 12, 2008
This is an outstanding set. I love the information contained on all the presidents. My kids actually enjoy watching this. I told them that the information learned was like hearing gossip... How fun and informational. Even if you are not a history buff you will enjoy this set.
The Presidents December 7, 2008

I bought this DVD after seeing it on the History Channel. I loved the way the History Channel presented the story of each president. It made learning about the Presidents attainable and comprehensive. I bought it because I am a history teacher and felt that it taught the children about a president in a quick and concise manner.
gift item December 7, 2008
The item arrived in a timely manner. I only wanted one but made a mistake and could not get it to delete so I could change the amount. However, it worked out fine since I now had two gifts instead of one. They were unopened dvd's and looked fine from the outside. They were recommended to me. Thanks!
