Book Reviews of Complete Book of U.S. Presidents
Book Review: Should be part of everyone's library!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is by far the best and most entertaining book on the U.S. Presidents I have found. I am constantly referring to it when I am watching or reading anything having to do with U.S. political History.
If you're a history buff and watch things like the John Adams mini series this is a book to keep on your coffee table near the TV. It makes a great companion to other books on history as well.
The price is amazing for the book you get!

Well-organized and packed with details, the book also includes a bibliography on each executive, including books written by and about them, along with useful and entertaining appendixes on the political composition of every Congress, presidential curiosities (such as the uncanny similarities between the lives and deaths of Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy), and a ranking of presidents. Whether you want to know the opponent of James Monroe in the election of 1816 or read some of Harry S. Truman's more memorable quotes, this is a most complete and thorough reference to each commander in chief.
