"Historic acts, captivating quotes, and dramatic secrets of the commanders-in-chief for every day of the year"--Dust jacket cover. |
| Summary |
For each of the 366 days of the year, Brandus offers fascinating facts, historical anecdotes, and pithy quotations from and about all the presidents of the United States, from George Washington to Donald Trump. Stories span war and peace, sex and scandal, frivolity and tragedy, including: the night Abraham Lincoln and John Wilkes Booth met at Ford's Theatre, 17 months before Booth's crime -- the advice Richard Nixon gave Donald Trump -- the president who immediately went to bed after his swearing in -- the only president to be censured by the U.S. Senate -- the president who gambled away the White House china -- the joyriding teens who crashed into the president's car, and lived to tell the tale -- the secret swearing in -- and much more. |
