From George Washington to George W.
In the course of the 2008 presidential campaigns, Americans
became involved in the political process at a level rarely seen in
modern history. But even before the historic race, George W. Bush''s
tenure had left many Americans wondering how we got to where we are
today. The Complete Idiot''s Guider to the American Presidency
takes readers from the first president to the one who just stepped
down-exploring the legacies of the greatest leaders and the black
marks against others, and showing the ways in which they left their
stamp on both the nation and the presidency itself.
*Written by the author of the highly successful The
Complete Idiot''s Guider to American History, Fifth Edition
*Appendices that list the presidents and their vice
presidents, the presidential elections, and further reading
