In this documentary we take a whistlestop tour through the history of the US presidency. Journalist and author Jonathan Freedland asks what qualities make a great president and what we can learn from the likes of Theodore Roosevelt, JFK, or even Richard Nixon about what it takes to make a mark in the White House. <br /><br />Jonathan Freedland is helped by distinguished contributors, including James Naughtie, Shirley Williams, Douglas Hurd, Simon Hoggart, and Bonnie Greer, who give frank assessments of some of America's greatest presidents.
