Book description

Imagine a non-partisan presidential history that never mentions Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative.

Why read it?

1 author picked We the Presidents as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Having spent over eight years in the White House, I was very interested to read We the Presidents: How American Presidents Shaped the Last Century. The book is exceptionally well written. Author Ronald Gruner uniquely relates the various issues and challenges faced by select presidents and then details how those issues and their outcomes impacted and influenced America. I found the book to be very well researched, and applaud Gruner for how he painted a sobering reality of Presidents, especially the seven that I had personally met. I highly recommend this book!
