"Presidential Profiles" is a book that displays bright and colorful
verbal pictures of the forty-two men who have led our country from
George Washington to George W. Bush. Unlike many works about the
presidents, this one is neither a large tome nor a complex study of
presidential policies or historical themes arranged by more or less
useful analytical categories. Philip Secor, and acclaimed author
and historian, has provided here a useful comparative reference for
the beginning student and, at the same time, a "good read" for the
history buff. Although there are few footnotes and no extensive
bibliography, there are a few books suggested for further reading
on each president. Each profile seeks to answer four general
questions: (1)What kind of person was (is) he in terms of
appearance, temperament, personal habits and idiosyncracies? (2)
What was his childhood and early life like and what did he do
before becoming president? (3) What did he accomplish as president?
(4) What did he do after leaving office and what was the manner of
his death? Throughout, special emphasis is placed on personal and
social relationships.
