American Heritage History of the Presidents by Michael R. Beschloss

pamiverson's review

4.0

short essays about Presidents through half of George W. Bush’s first term. Focus is on how they used the presidency, enhanced its power, were able to implement their policies. Somewhat dated (e.g., no acknowledgement of Wilson’s and others’ racism), but interesting to learn about many I know little about. Also, it helped me fall back asleep, thinking about something outside myself.
