Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. WORST. PRESIDENT. EVER. flips the great presidential biography on its head, offering an enlightening, entertaining, and at times hilarious account of poor James Buchanan's presidency to prove once and for all that, well, few leaders could have done worse. But author Robert Strauss does much more, propelling readers through Buchanan's terrible term in office -- meddling in the Dred Scott Supreme Court decision, exacerbating the Panic of 1857, helping foment the John Brown uprisings and "Bloody Kansas," virtually inviting a half-dozen states to secede from the Union and initiate the Civil War, and on and on -- to explore with insight and humor his own obsession with presidents and ultimately the entire notion of ranking our commanders in chief. With colorful commentary of the PTUS rating game played by historians and others who have made their own Mount Rushmores -- or Marianas Trenches -- of presidential achievement, WORST. PRESIDENT. EVER. shows why Buchanan easily loses to any of the others. And the author gives insights into presidential history buffs like himself, the forgotten "lesser" presidential sites, sex and the presidency, and how and why the nation's highest office can often take the best measures out of even the most dedicated men.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A provocative reconsideration of a presidency on the brink of Civil War Almost no president was as well trained and well prepared for the office as James Buchanan. He had served in the Pennsylvania state legislature, the U.S. House, and the U.S. Senate; he was Secretary of State and was even offered a seat on the Supreme Court. And yet, by every measure except his own, James Buchanan was a miserable failure as president, leaving office in disgrace. Virtually all of his intentions were thwarted by his own inability to compromise: he had been unable to resolve issues of slavery, caused his party to split-thereby ensuring the election of the first Republican president, Abraham Lincoln-and made the Civil War all but inevitable. Historian Jean H. Baker explains that we have rightly placed Buchanan at the end of the presidential rankings, but his poor presidency should not be an excuse to forget him. To study Buchanan is to consider the implications of weak leadership in a time of national crisis. Elegantly written, Baker's volume offers a balanced look at a crucial moment in our nation's history and explores a man who, when given the opportunity, failed to rise to the challenge.
