We the Presidents: How a Century of Presidents from Harding to Trump Forged Today's America (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798994439210)

Published on July 4, 2026, this revised and updated special edition of We the Presidents commemorates the 250th Anniversary of American Independence.

Rather than a traditional presidential history, We the Presidents focuses on a century of presidencies from Warren G. Harding to Donald J. Trump and how their presidencies have shaped today's America, and the world. Many of today's critical issues -- immigration, inflation, income disparity, civil discord, and the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East -- all had their roots in earlier presidencies from the Emergency Immigration Act of 1921 to President Trump's sweeping immigration and budget legislation.

We the Presidents is more than an absorbing read; it is a compelling education on the issues which have shaped the American century up to the present day. As one reviewer commented, "It's no mean feat to craft a U.S. Presidents book that feels so refreshingly different from all the others, and somehow Ronald Gruner has done it."

As we celebrate American Independence, we Americans should remember that President Washington, during his first Inaugural Address, warned his fellow Americans that their new republic was a noble "experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people." This anniversary edition of We the Presidents serves as a reminder that, after 250 years, America remains a great and noble experiment.

"Essential reading for every conscientious citizen."-U.S. Review of Books
