3.0 out of 5 stars Pleasant biographic overview, November 5, 2009

This review is from: Biography - Dwight D. Eisenhower (A&E DVD Archives) (DVD)

I got this dvd to supplement the PBS box set The Presidents which didn't have a dvd on Eisenhower.

This dvd is from the A&E Biography series and so tends to take an overall view of Eisenhower's life, hitting the maybe more familiar highs and lows with members of his family and co-workers offering their views, etc. It fell short for me on Eisenhower's Presidency. It captured it in essence but if this dvd had been lengthened out to 2 dvds, looking into his cabinet, his style as a President, etc. it might have been a great set. It seemed before you knew it, the 100 minutes was gone and you didn't get a more in-depth sense of the significance of his presidency. I'm sure someone will put another dvd out.

This review is from: Biography - Dwight D. Eisenhower (A&E DVD Archives) (DVD)

A fairly complete bio of Ike - it covered his youth, Mamie Doud, the loss of his son, his starting the interstate highway system, and his relationship with Kay Summersby. I'd rate it at 4½ stars.

I also have Ike - Countdown to D-Day starring Tom Selleck. A very good movie.
A detailed book about individual battles, written by "Ike" himself: CRUSADE IN EUROPE. A personal account of World War II

5.0 out of 5 stars Ike's great story!, September 19, 2009

An excellent video showing the life of Eisenhower. Learned some things I never heard about him. How a small town Kansas boy made it big in a world rapidly changing.
