From a New York Times bestselling author comes a "guided tour" of the presidents of the United States.
From the heated debates among the framers of the Constitution in 1787 over an "elected king," to the creation of the presidency, and on through rich profiles of each man who has held the office, author Kenneth C. Davis examines each chief executive, from the low lights to the bright lights, the memorable to the forgettable and the forgotten. Davis offers rich anecdotes about real people. He also charts the history of the presidency itself, debunking myths and grading the presidents from A+ to F.
For history buffs and history-phobes alike, this entertaining book may change your understanding of the highest office in the land throughout more than two hundred years of history.
