This innovative encyclopedia explores the life and times of
America's forty-five presidents-from the first administration to
that of Donald Trump. Forty-five men have served as President of
the United States since George Washington swore the oath of office
in 1789 in New York City. Some have proved exceptional leaders, and
others have not. Some have faced serious crises, both foreign and
domestic. Franklin Roosevelt was elected to four terms, leading the
country through a major economic depression and a world war, while
one held the office for only a single month. Each, however, played
a key role in the evolution of United States history. Each of their
histories therefore remains a critical civics lesson to consider.
This four-volume encyclopedia provides an expansive analysis of the
life and times of each United States president in chronological
order from George Washington to Donald Trump. Each chapter includes
a timeline, a biographical sketch, a historical overview, and an
analytical essay concerning the president and his presidency. Each
also includes a substantial selection of related primary documents
presenting important presidential speeches and correspondence. A
suggested reading list for further study of each president rounds
out each entry. Enables readers to better understand each
president's unique contributions to American history, providing
significantly more detail than typical reference works on the U.S.
presidency Includes substantial historical overview essays as well
as a penetrating critical analysis, in addition to detailed
biographical essays, of each presidency Offers a curated selection
of primary documents, combining the educational power of primary
and secondary sources to create a richer learning experience for
