Our greatest forgotten President

This is one of the best accounts of the first President that took our government to the people.  Jackson is undoubtedly one of our most influential presidents.  That history has all but forgotten him is a shame.  This book should be required reading for every presidential candidate.

Just enough detail offers great insight to who our president is. I would love to meet him. Would be like seeing an old friend.

An excellent book about President James Garfield and his assassination. A great man of his time little known by people of our time.

Great book about the life of a relatively unknown but key figure in our countries' history.  The best voice for pacificism is an ex-military guy that realized the hard way that he spent his whole adult life doing the bidding of the large corporations that always controlled this country.  This explains why his voice is so silent like many other brilliant and brave men like Lysander Spooner, Frederic Bastiat, Ron Paul, Lewis McFadden and many others.  Only book that I know that lays bare a confirmed plot by rich bankers to takeover this country.  A task that appears to have been completed on 11/22/63 instead, although by the military industrial complex instead or maybe they were one in the same with the bankers by then.

The Amateur brings out hidden facts that all Americans should know about our present president (No capital P as he does not deserve it).  The book is well written and factual.  Many topics I did not know about.  Spell-binding.  Must read for all Americans.

We have a wonderful candidate for president in the wings.
We need to get the word out this man would be a
back to our founding father's intentions for this country.

George W. Bush was one of the great presidents to me.  He loves our Country and did what he thought was best.  He prayed to Almighty God before his decisions were made.  I wish he was still president.

This is a wonderful book about a man few people understand or really appreciate.

Our expectations of the modern, American presidency are the legacy of Woodrow Wilson. Berg's biography is necessary reading to understand how we got here.

Wilson is more than the caricature of an unreconstructed Southerner. He mobilized an unready nation to win a war meant to make the world safe for liberal democracy. He supported women's right to vote. He nominated the first Jewish justice of the Supreme Court. He oversaw the institution of  progressive Federal income tax. He established the League of Nations.

A great, intellectual President, he was succeeded by a vulgarian. This served to highlight the value of intellect and the conduct of policy driven by American ideals. When he passed, the nation mourned President Wilson. As you will, when you've finished reading this biography.

Easily considered one of the greatest presidents of all time this book gives a brief but good look into his life and family. The back story of where he came from and his humble upbringing. Very good quick read.

I really loved this book and couldn't put this book down. I had forgotten about all that happened throughout the years. I think that Eisenhower was one of my favorite Presidents. I can't remember if he was the first president I voted for many years ago. I think that Clint Hill did a wonderful Job and you can really tell he loved his job. Thank you Clint Hill for a wonderful enlightening of our time in history.
I highly recomend that you read this book

My grandchildren loved it. Never to young (or old) to learn about one of our greatest presidents.

Robert Slayton has written a great political biography about a truly great,but sadly forgotten, Statesman,Al Smith. Professor Slayton is a master storyteller who writes with verve and humor. The best parts of the book are about Smith's Governorship and His wonderful family life. Smith was probably New York's greatest Governor and Slayton clearly shows us why. The book has two minor flaws; The account of Smith's failed 1928 campaign for the presidency is excellent except for Slayton's attempt to prove that Smith was defeated solely because of his religion. His attempt falls short. Clearly Smith's catholicism was an issue and it did hurt him. But Slayton fails to make the case that given the great prosperity of the twenties, for which the Republicans were generally credited, that any Democrat could have been elected that year. The book's other shortcoming is it's attempt to explain Smith's drift to the right in His final years. After clearly establishing the considerable ideological differences between Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt Slayton attempts to explain Smith's rightward tilt in psychological ,or should I say psychobabble terms. It is really very simple,some people become more conservative as they get older. But taken as a whole this is a great book, a fascinating biography of a statesman of vision and integrity that all of us should know more about than we do.

A much underrated president in his time as president. He  helped to end the Korean War and avoided intervening in IndoChina in 1954. In his case silence ran very dee. Over time he emerges as a great president. way above the opinion of his contemporaries!

An excellent recollection of the term of a great president who is also a great human being and a gentleman. Profound, warm natured and also a first class recreation of situations and reactions that are consistent with a deeply rooted life conception.

But for the ending, this was a terrific read.  I'd have liked to see more post-watergate detail.  Still, this presents a fair assessment of a man who forgot he was "one of us" (for better or worse).  He really never should have been President.  We elected him because the Democratic party was in such dissaray the dopes who ran the DNC couldn't decide who their leader should be, eventually conceding the nomination to Hubert Humphrey.  As it was he almost staged a huge comeback, losing a close election to Nixon. We all know what happened after that

I recommend this as a good overview of tricky
