| |  | | | From The Publisher
While there arey a number of overviews of the 41 Presidents of the United States published for the juvenile market, few adult books provide a basic look at each man and his presidency, the context of his time and the major events that shaped him. "The Complete Idiot's Guide to American Presidents" does just that. You'll learn about each president with the aid of timelines, photographs, trivia and other details.

Gives readers a concise and lively look at our presidents: the heroes, the geniuses, the tragic figures, the weak characters, and the occasional buffoons.
