Presidential Leadership by James Taranto
Six of one, half dozen of the other. I get that the editors endeavored to present a balanced picture of the men who have led America from the time it was declared such, but for me it would have been a more balanced book had they consulted History Professors only. I don't believe that Political Scientists or Law Professors can be "balanced". The book is interesting none-the-less. It finishes in the middle of George W, Bush's administration.

gmillar | 1 other review | Mar 17, 2023 | An interesting effort to rank some of America's greatest and worst presidents. There are sufficient arguments for both sides that are presented by the various authors. Nevertheless, it is impossible to rank ANYTING withouut disagreement.
