American Heritage Illustrated History Of The Presidents

Here, from American Heritage, is the story of our presidents. From George Washington’s reluctant oath-taking through George W. Bush’s leadership challenges after September 11, 2001, we view ambitious and fallible men through the new lens of the twenty-first century. Where did they succeed? Where did they fail? And what do we know now that we could not have known at the time?

This discussion of the Presidency as an institution is an examination of the office itself, offered on a chronological framework.

An eighteen-volume history of the United States, each volume dealing with a particular era and having a dictionary-encyclopedia of people, places, and events mentioned in that volume.
