This work features moments of public embarrassment, unfortunate decisions, secret business meetings - awkward blunders that are best swept under the carpet of history. But when these things happen to the president of the United States, they can change the course of history. In this clever, tongue in cheek portrait of the American presidency, Jim Cullen takes ten presidents down from their pedestals and turns history on its head. Targeting Republicans and Democrats alike, Cullen's insights are surprisingly timely and hugely entertaining.
