Prager University: The Honest Book of Presidents, Gebunden

Klappentext

A new guide to the fascinating history of the American presidency.

Only forty-five men have held the title President of the United States. In this concise yet powerful volume, PragerU --- in collaboration with leading historians, political thinkers, and bestselling authors --- takes you inside the lives of the leaders who have steered America through its 250-year story. From the most revered to the most reviled, each president's journey reveals personal dramas and struggles, tragedies and triumphs.

The Honest Book of Presidents pushes back against today's revisionist history with a fresh, fact-driven look at our nation's leaders. You'll discover why George Washington was "the indispensable man" of the Revolutionary era, how Abraham Lincoln changed the course of history in just two minutes, why Warren Harding deserves more respect, why Calvin Coolidge is underrated, and much more. Along the way, you'll see how presidents wrestled with their flaws, rose to moments of greatness, and shaped the nation's destiny --- founding new political parties, winning wars, and defending liberty.

We owe our freedom to these leaders. They set America on the path we still follow. Their lives --- complex, flawed, and inspiring --- are windows into the American story itself.

The Honest Book of Presidents is a bold, much-needed guide to the men who made America --- and to the enduring ideals that still define it.
