From the Just the Facts series, this title is one of a five-tape subject set exploring each of the three branches of the federal government and the critical documents on which the American democratic system is founded. Although many people often think of the President when they hear "executive branch," the reality is that, in addition to our Commander in Chief, this particular branch includes the Vice President, the Cabinet, and several agencies, such as the FBI, DEA and Dept. of the Treasury. Viewers will learn in great detail how the executive branch is organized, as well as about the duties and offices of the various divisions and how they have been utilized by presidents throughout American history. Interviews with various political scientists and historians help bring an in-depth understanding to the role the executive branch plays in the American government's system of checks and balances. Together with the other titles in the series--The Judicial Branch, The Legislative Branch, The Declaration of Independence, The United States Constitution and The Bill of Rights--this title would greatly enhance curriculum featuring an introduction to American government. Recommended. Aud: H, C, P. (L. Stevens)
