Entertaining and informational

This DVD contains a video that was directly copied from the PBS “American Experience” program S22.E1. We got a well-organized documentary on the CCC and what it was like to be there. It is the story of three million men put to work by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the legacy that they left us. His story is told through a handful of people who lived through that time. It is supplemented with moving pictures and photographs. There is a film clip of John Wayne in "Three Faces West" (1940) describing the usefulness of sticking together. Jonathan Alter was one of the writers and narrators; he is the author of "FDR's 100 Days and the Triumph of Hope." Everything moves so fast that you will want to watch the presentation again for missed details. If you suspect creeping socialism, then you may want to read the book "The Capitalist Manifesto” by Louis O Kelso and Mortimer J Adler. ISBN-13: 9781258052065
