Vanity Fair's Presidential Profiles: Defining Portraits, Deeds, and Misdeeds of 43 Notable Americans—And What Each One Really Thought About His Predecessor (Hardcover)

"A must-read for American history addicts like myself." Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Generally considered to hold the most powerful position in the world, the president of the United States and the influence wielded by that figure have long fascinated Americans. Vanity Fair's Presidential Profiles takes an enlightening and entertaining look at the 43 men who have ascended to the highest office in the land. Reading it, you'll learn not only their presidential accomplishments, but their personal quirks as well—who was charming or cantankerous; who came from privilege and who from poverty; who privately doubted his decisions and who loudly attacked his detractors. Edited by Graydon Carter, with a foreword by Vanity Fair's national editor Todd S. Purdum and elegant illustrations by Mark Summers.
