The Honest Book of Presidents: The Men Who Shaped America (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780063430273)

A guide to the fascinating history of the American presidency from top experts.

Only the most remarkable Americans have been granted the title, President of the United States. In this short keepsake volume, PragerU's world-renowned historians, political thinkers, and bestselling authors will give you a glimpse into those remarkable Americans' inspiring stories, recounting the history that too often goes untold.

Covering every president from Washington to Trump, The Honest Book of Presidents refutes the revisionist historical narratives now dominant in the education system, and shows how our leaders formed and preserved the ideals of the nation's founding. It covers many of the key facts from presidential history, such as John Adams' pivotal role behind the scenes in the Revolution, why Warren Harding is overlooked while his vice president is underrated, and how Lincoln changed history in two minutes. You'll learn how these leaders and others overcame their vices with virtue, achieved victory in war, and formed new political parties--Republicans, Democrats, and Whigs included.

We owe our liberty to these leaders. They set America on the path we still follow, and they had complex lives, often full of contradictions and trials. The Honest Book of Presidents is a unique overview of American history. You'll be glad you read it, and more deeply thankful to be an American.
