Reviews
The entries, arranged chronologically and including black-and-white portraits, chronologies, and references, reveal the "extremely high quality of men who have borne that title" in spite of the low esteem and even boredom that some of the incumbents experienced after the party system changed the position from "second-best man in the nation" to someone who could deliver votes and stay out of the way. The articles explain how these men came to office, demonstrate their range of experiences and skills, and document what they did with the power they had. The 50-page "Chronology of Events" appended to the entries is useful background material for anyone needing to put a specific vice president's era in political perspective.
The readability of the volume makes it appealing as well as informative. Recommended for high-school, public, and undergraduate libraries. Sally Jane
