Presidents at War tells the story of World War II as experienced by eight notable men. Men who, like sixteen million other Americans, bravely serve their country through its darkest hour, then go on as the country's supreme commanders. Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and George HW Struik. This is the story of how their war experiences change them, how they emerge from conflict as leaders, and how the crucible of war shapes the decisions they make when they reach the White House.
