{"product_id":"presidents-theodore-roscoe-9781618278906","title":"Presidents: Imaginary Moments in the Lives of America's Great","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat if George Washington almost accepted a crown? What if John Adams walked out on his presidency and came back a different man? Theodore Roscoe turns the tidy pages of history inside out with an irreverent wink: short, savory fictions that imagine the private stumbles, strange temptations, and human quirks behind the public faces of Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Jackson-and the republic they made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese spirited vignettes-ranging from the theatrical crown-room of Mount Vernon to the bathtub diplomacy of Napoleon and Jefferson, and from the private torments of the White House to the muddy glory of New Orleans-blend sharp satire, warm humanity, and pulpy adventure. Roscoe's voices are vivid, his humor sly, and his sympathy for these flawed giants never far from the surface. The result is a wildly entertaining portrait gallery: history rethought as myth, legend, and unforgettable anecdote.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for readers of historical fiction, alternate-history fans, and anyone who loves presidential lore with bite, this collection is a playful reminder that great men were, first and always, human.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Theodore Roscoe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1618278908\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781618278906\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Popular Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/03\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 458\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.93d","brand":"Theodore Roscoe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49083845443839,"sku":"9781618278906","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/presidents-theodore-roscoe-9781618278906","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
