The Presidents of the USA

Christof Mauch

This volume offers a brief history of America from the perspective of its presidents. In biographical portraits the authors portray the lives and terms of office of the 46 presidents to date, they outline the most important developments, events and decisions, and take conclusions outlining the achievements and failures of each presidency. They also create a global picture of American history from the independence at the end of the 18th century to the global superpower of our days.
