Discover how the Oval Office's occupants have made and make history
Which one was the tallest? Which one fought a duel? Which had
liquor smuggled into the White House during Prohibition? And why is
the president even called the president in the first place? From
periwigs and knee breeches to the 24-hour news cycle and
presidential Tweets, the fascinating and colorful stories of the 45
incumbents are a powerful lens through which to view U.S. history
and get insight into the present. Taking readers on a fact-filled
journey through two centuries, this book examines how each
individual obtained their dream (or nightmare) position, what they
stood for (or against), achieved (or didn't), and how their actions
affected the country--for better or worse. And--remembering that
presidents are people too--it shows how the personal really can be
political, exploring how each president's vision, strengths, and
foibles helped or hindered them in building the country and their
own legacy. Accessible biographies of all presidents Sidebars,
timelines, and photos Lists of best and worst administrations Bonus
online content, including quizzes galore to help build retention
Whether you're a student, a history buff--or are even interested in
becoming president yourself one day--U. S. Presidents For Dummies
is the perfect guide to what it takes to be leader of the free
world, who has stepped up to that challenge, and how those personal
histories can help us understand yesterday's, today's, and even
tomorrow's union.
