Book Reviews of The Complete Book of U.S. Presidents--6th Edition: Includes Material through 2005 (Complete Book of Us Presidents)
Book Review: My Presidential "Bible"
Summary: 5 Stars
I have two copies of this book (I bought a revised edition which included a few more Presidents) and I go back to them time and again. It's one of those books you can open up to any page and just start reading. Mr. De Gregorio lends a human side to the Presidents by including items such as hair and eye color, height, even clothing preferences and voice timbres. It also includes marriages, children, and direct descendants in addition to the nitty-gritty history of each administration. Great trivia fodder for any American history enthusiast!!

Summary of The Complete Book of U.S. Presidents--6th Edition: Includes Material through 2005 (Complete Book of Us Presidents)
A factual look at all our chief executives, from George Washington to our current president.This is the consummate guide to the political and personal lives of every U. S. president through Bill Clinton. Arranged chronologically, The Complete Book of U.S. Presidents elaborates not only on the major accomplishments and events of their terms, but also on less well-known details such as personalities, careers before the presidency, Supreme Court appointments, hobbies, ethnic backgrounds, and even extramarital affairs. 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.
