| Summary, etc |
For the 2012 presidential race, the author of the acclaimed biography of President James Polk offers a fresh, playful, and challenging way of playing "Rating the Presidents" - America's favorite game - by pitching historians' views and subsequent experts' polls against the judgment and votes of the presidents' own contemporaries. This voyage through all our history provides a sometimes surprising analysis of how presidential politics works. |
