Among the 16 million Americans who served on active duty during World War Two are eight American Presidents: Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Carter, Bush, Ford, Reagan and Eisenhower. Night Two of this epic event special follows these men from late 1943 to the wars' end, in both the European and Pacific theaters. From D-Day to the final Pacific Island hopping campaigns, we see what they experience and how that shapes them as leaders. Nixon faces a barrage of live fire, Bush is shot down in the Pacific, Ford faces kamikazes on the USS Monterey and Eisenhower takes on perhaps the greatest invasion in world history--the invasion of Normandy. |
