Presidents : Every Question Answered, Everything You Could Possibly Want to Know About the Nation's Chief Executives
"The highest office of our country has been a challenging one to occupy, from the times of a newly founded nation to the global leader it has become. Presidents: Every Question Answered reviews our leaders' time in office and examines how their distinct characteristics became evident in the laws and improvements (or regressions) made during their terms. Biographical facts, first ladies, and the administrative personnel that shared each president's days are contained in these pages. Whether you're a history major looking for extra credit, or just curious to know more about the melting pot of the United States, this book gives you insight and answers to your questions.
