{"product_id":"imperfect-presidents-jim-cullen-9780230605787","title":"Imperfect Presidents: Tales of Misadventure and Triumph","description":"In this clever portrait of the American presidency, Jim Cullen takes ten presidents down from their pedestals by examining key missteps in their careers--and how they transcended them. Examples include Abraham Lincoln smearing a preacher and rediscovering his religious vision in emancipating slaves; Lyndon Johnson's electoral fraud in his 1948 Senate race and his role in the signing of the Voting Rights Act; and Ronald Reagan's subversion of the Constitution in the Iran-Contra affair and affirmation of world peace in helping bring about the end of the Cold War. Targeting Republicans and Democrats alike, Cullen's insights are surprisingly timely and hugely entertaining.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Cullen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0230605788\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780230605787\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martin's Griffin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Jim Cullen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46685594517759,"sku":"9780230605787","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b7fd7879-64c6-46c1-992a-19cf2e1908e7.jpg?v=1741726192","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/imperfect-presidents-jim-cullen-9780230605787","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
