Confronting the presidents no spin assessments from Washington to Biden

O'Reilly, Bill (author.). Dugard, Martin (author.).

Summary: "From Washington to Jefferson, Lincoln to FDR, Kennedy to Nixon, Reagan to Obama and Biden, the 45 United States presidents have left lasting impacts on our nation. In Confronting the Presidents, O'Reilly and Dugard present wonderfully entertaining and insightful portraits of each president, with no-spin commentary on their achievements -- or lack thereof. Who best served America, and who undermined the founding ideals? How do decisions made in one era still resonate today? And what do presidents like to eat, drink, and do when they aren't working -- or even sometimes when they are?"--
