Hard Back. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Printing. 566 Pages Indexed. Ten inked lines of gift inscription on the half-title page. No other marks or stamps to this otherwise very nice and very tight book wit flawless interior text pages. What makes some presidencies triumphant and others disastrous failures? How has the office evolved from the august institution established by the Founding Fathers? The answers can be found in this book, which provides a rich narrative history of our chief executives and their administrations against the backdrop of America's social, cultural, and economic times. This book offers a dramatic excursion through the executive halls, combining essays, sidebars on first families, time lines, and important facts at a glance. With 41 essays by such well-known historians as Eric Foner, Joyce Appleby, James Henretta, Alan Taylor, Jean Baker, Michael Kazin, and Robert Dallek, this book showcases the most provocative interpretive history being written today. Was Madison, for example, an indecisive bungler who led his country to war or a principled politician whose leadership was appropriate to his time? Did Coolidge, generally regarded by historians as saying less, doing less, and sleeping more than any other twentieth-century president, deserve his voters' admiration? Was Eisenhower more involved in shaping foreign policy than previous historians have allowed? From the time George Washington first defined the office, through the challenges of expansion, sectionalism, wars, depressions, and America's rising responsibilities on the world stage, The Reader's Companion examines not only the brilliance, and hubris, of the nation's leaders but also the symbolic and cultural role of the presidency in American life. Presidents have become the secular icons of the republic - emblems of nationhood and embodiments of the values that American have claimed to cherish. This is an indispensible resource with its sharp insight, colorful detail, and vivid writing.…
