AMERICAN EXPERIENCE
In 1989, after two terms in office, Ronald Wilson Reagan left the White House one of the most popular presidents of the 20th century — and one of the most controversial. When his Hollywood career began to wane, Reagan turned to politics. One by one, his opponents underestimated him; one by one, Reagan surprised them, rising to become a president who always preferred to see America as a "shining city on a hill."
AMERICAN EXPERIENCE presents seven 20th-century biographies that offer an intimate and compelling look at the men who have defined and re-defined the modern presidency.
