America’s Presidents: All Too Human
The vast majority of those who occupied the White House never came close to replicating the extraordinary leadership of the likes of Washington, Lincoln, or Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Why? Gerald Henig (author of America’s Presidents: What Your History Teacher Never Told You) offers little-known and compelling stories—funny, tragic, and, in some cases, startling—that help to explain why only a handful of our chief executives etched a place for themselves in the annals of presidential greatness.
