In the nearly 250 years since its inception, the U.S. presidency
has survived controversy, scandal, resignation, civil war,
impeachment, and assassination. Every individual who has assumed
the title of president has left a mark, for good or ill, on
American history. This fifth edition of American Presidents
examines the strengths and weaknesses, the successes and failures
of each chief executive, from George Washington to Joe Biden.
Following a detailed Introduction, each chapter presents a
comprehensive portrait of each president, from birth to political
rise to election, term(s) in office, defeat or retirement, and
death. Topical subheadings help guide readers through the material.
The legacy of each administration is measured against the yardstick
of U.S. history, and the evolution of the office and country can be
traced clearly. More than 250 photos, and excerpts from famous
presidential speeches, punctuate this richly detailed edition.
Every in-depth essay ends with an annotated Suggested Reading. The
set also includes a reprint of the U.S. Constitution, detailed
Timeline, Official Election Results, Cabinet Members, Executive
Departments and Offices, list of First Ladies, Presidential
Libraries, Museums and Historic Sites, Bibliography, and Subject
Index.
