The President of the United States has always been in the public eye - but do we know these men as well as we think we do? What were they like as fathers, husbands, and neighbors? What did they do for fun, what were their favorite foods, and how did they take care of their hair? Other books focus on the historical achievements of those who have occupied our country's highest office - Lives of the Presidents looks instead at their bad habits, silly nicknames, and strange pets, examining their high points, low points, and times in between. Even the most avid presidential buff may make new discoveries, and those who think the presidents are dull are sure to find some surprises. In this stunning addition to their acclaimed series, Kathleen Krull and Kathryn Hewitt take us beyond politics and photo opportunities, revealing the entertaining, complex, and very real lives of the presidents. |
