Public pillars, private lives

de Timothy Holder, John Anthony Moretta, Carl J. Luna, Jaime Ramon Olivares

"This volume attempts to transcend the fiercely partisan tone of current American public debate and present a balanced assessment of the dozen modern American presidents from Franklin Delano Roosevelt to George W. Bush. Easy essay consists of an introduction, a biographical portrait of the president under discussion, followed by a positive and negative assessment of each man's tenure in office"--Preface.
