The Ferocious Engine of Democracy: A History of the American Presidency : From the Origins Through William McKinley

Rating:
Summary: Simply the best volume ever written on the Presidency....
Review: Accessible, well-written, and utterly compelling history is loaded with facts and dates, but more than that, this book places each president in the context of his times. Therefore, we come to understand the era itself; with the policies, debates, and legal questions fully explored.
