| Publisher Description: Foreword Reviews' INDIEFAB Book of the Year Winner in Biography "The Funniest. Presidential. Biographer. Ever." --Kai Bird, Pulitzer-prize winning historian Now in paperback, W.P.E. flips the great presidential biography on its head, offering an enlightening--and highly entertaining --account of poor James Buchanan's presidency. This book proves once and for all that, well, few leaders could have done worse. But author Robert Strauss also explores with insight and humor the entire notion of ranking our presidents. He guides us through the POTUS rating game played by historians and others, the world of presidential history buffs, presidential sites, the presidency itself, and how and why the White House can often take the best measures out of even the most dedicated men. |
