The history of the American presidency / Bowman, John

This book offers an overview of the forty-two men who have overseen the development of the United States from fledgling to superpower.

Individual chapters on each president highlight the important events in their administrations but give equal time to their backgrounds, family life and education, military and political careers and their lives following their terms of office.

Profiles and life and career of each of America's presidents, from George Washington to Bill Clinton, highlighting the important events of their administrations; and includes over two hundred illustrations.
