Description

Presidents who claimed to limit government often actually did the opposite.

History often looks unfavorably on presidents who may have actually contributed smart and important policies.

Were Harding and Coolidge really as ineffective as their reputations maintain?

Did Hoover not do enough to end the Depression? Was Reagan a true champion of small-government conservatism?

We all know that the American president is one of the most powerful people in the world.

But to understand the presidency today we often have to learn from the past.

Author Ivan Eland offers a new perspective in Eleven Presidents on the evolution of the executive office by exploring the policies of eleven key presidents who held office over the last one hundred years: Warren G.

Harding, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.

W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush. The book combines an exploration of how political currents shape historical legacies with an in-depth analysis of presidents' actual policies.

An important, revealing book about the presidency, legacy, and the formation of history, Eleven Presidents is essential reading for understanding the American presidency.
