In depth and as all his documentaries, very well done. Your comment about the lack of interest FDR gets on some posts is discouraging as it’s only been a generation ago..well, for me as I’m a post war baby. So much can still apply to the issues we have today. Time does march on but forgetting our history should not be left behind but I know so much of it is. Maybe they should make video games based on American History and somehow make learning fun. O, yeah..I’m getting old….
