This documentary, part of the 20th Century With Mike Wallace series from CBS News and the History Channel, offers a behind-the-scenes look at the flawed presidencies of Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon. Narrated by series host and CBS News correspondent Mike Wallace, this episode explores what happened to these two world leaders to make one not run for re-election and the other to resign from office. First, Wallace and other CBS reporters take a look at the downfall of Johnson's presidency: Vietnam and all of the lies, cover-ups, and errors of that undeclared war. Then, there is an examination of the Nixon White House, from the time he seemingly saved the country by ending America's involvement with Vietnam to the days of Watergate. 20th Century With Mike Wallace uses extensive CBS News footage and interviews with historians and political insiders to relive this sad period in the country's history. ~ Cecilia Cygnar, Rovi
