From a New York Times bestselling author, a captivating and unique overview of the first 44 presidents of the United States, from George Washington to Barack Obama.

Using his entertaining question-and-answer style to chart the history of the presidency itself as well as debunk the myths of America’s. Here’s the young Lincoln building his mother’s coffin and dragging a tragic burden through the snow to the burial; Theodore Roosevelt, America’s youngest president, shockingly pushed into the presidency–with greatness thrust upon him; FDR, the only man elected four times, concealing his crippling disability from the American public as he led the nation through depression and world war; and Lyndon Johnson, reelected in a landslide, then crushed by the weight of the Vietnam War.

For history buffs and history-phobes alike, this book is packed with memorable facts that will change your understanding of the highest office in the land and the men who have occupied it.
