The President's Club - Nancy Gibbs and Michael Duffy

[Sonole]

Inside the world's most exclusive fraternity. Raw history at its finest. Rarely can a history book hold one in suspense. Typically, when someone reads a history book your at least aware of the people, places, or events involved. Most likely you picked a particular history book for the specific subject you want to know more about. I was expecting just such an occurrence when I decided to read this book. Instead, I got a trip through the ages of America. Seemingly unconnected characters, events, and places are interwoven not loosely but definitively. When I finished this book I felt as if I was looking at past events from a new angle and without the usual bias. The authors managed to take me through a journey of the presidents without presenting a specific side to be landed on or persuaded towards. If I had a star based system of review this would get a high-five.
