From Booklist , 01/01/98:
Even readers who are not history buffs will be intrigued by this well-researched but breezy recap of the ill-fated presidencies of 10 men, some of whom come as usual suspects, others of whom will be surprises. Historian Miller, author of many U.S. histories, eliminates the short-termers (William Henry Harrison, Garfield, et al.) as having passed too quickly through the office to have effected any real good or damage. The earliest president discussed here is number 14, Franklin Pierce. More recent targets are Carter and Nixon, and, although Miller acknowledges the postpresidential rehabilitations of both, he feels their errors (Carter) and sins (Nixon) committed while in the Oval Office are too great to overcome. |
