Undeniably reverent yet frequently fascinating, this three-part miniseries reveals not only the key role that Ronald Reagan’s secretary of state once played on the world stage but also the battles that took place within the White House during Reagan’s presidency. Featuring interviews with important players including Shultz himself, Turmoil & Triumph provides an insider’s vantage on such historic events as Lebanon’s civil war, the Iran-Contra scandal, and the Reagan-Gorbachev summits in Geneva and Reykjavik, Iceland. Mondays, July 12–26, at 10 p.m., PBS; check local listings
