My Take on the Book
This book really takes the time to delve deeply into our US Presidents, even the ones that you do not know a lot about. The book goes from President to President and gives you a great understanding about what they did in office and in reading this you definitely get a good summary of the positive and negatives of the President as well as what they did or did not accomplish while in office. I appreciated that the book also included information on the President's wives and even the Vice Presidents too. If you love US history and want to know your Presidents even more than you do, this is the book for you!
