I've checked out the recommended reading list and didn't see anything about the U.S. presidents specifically. Are there any must-read books that include descriptions/acheivements/failures of every presidency? Thanks in advance!
Team of rivals is a great one about Lincoln And his cabinet. There are good biographies out there for each president. Are you looking for something that gives a synopsis of all the presidents or are you wanting to go more in-depth?
each presidency or "the presidency" (this is, perhaps surprisingly, a significant difference)?
a "synopsis style" book for "each president" is basically just a US history survey while books devoted to the evolution of the office of the presidency tend to lump various terms the author considers uninteresting together (e.g. Carter and Ford, the gilded age presidents, etc.)
