This is a 1984 book by a Texas Christian U. historian which gives an account of every American Presidential campaign from Washington up through 1980. The accounts for the more recent campaigns are a bit longer than for the longer ago ones but one comes away from each account feeling that it has been accurately summarized--even though I sometimes thought I was not being told too much new. There are a lot of footnotes but of course they refer to books published before 1984 so the accounts of some of the more recent campaigns are not inclusive of information which has come to light since. But I had the feeling that the highlights of each campaign were well told. And it was fun reading the book! ( ) no reviews | add a review
A lively, informative and entertaining read, this book presents the history of American elections from George Washington to George W. Bush with wit and spirit, examining the silly and the scurrilous as well as the serious sidees of the nation's periodic quests for presidents. No library descriptions found. |
