"In To the Best of My Ability: The American Presidents, members of the Society of American Historians deliver analyses of the forty-one men who have led this country - some, of course, more successfully than others.".
"In this illustrated volume, edited by Pulitzer Prize-winner James M. McPherson, you will learn from Gordon S.
Wood how George Washington, an extraordinary man, made it possible for ordinary men to govern; from Allen Weinstein how Theodore Roosevelt tested and extended the limits of the presidency; from Tom Wicker how Richard Nixon's hatreds and insecurities gripped him ever more tightly as he achieved his long-sought goal of power; and from Evan Thomas how much Bill Clinton cares about his place in the new presidential pecking order."--BOOK JACKET.
