From George Washington's reluctant oath taking through George W. Bush's leadership challenges after September 11, 2001, we view ambitious and fallible men through the new lens of the 21st century. Where did they succeed? Where did they fail? And what do we know now that we could not have known at the time?

This was a very easy book to listen to, mainly because each chapter is about a different president than the last. With the chapters being around 30 minutes each, it was certainly not too long to find the time. It is a very general overview, so don't expect a lot of new information, but it was enjoyable.

Good general overview

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and learning more about our Presidents. Some, I knew nothing about and others I knew a great deal about. Having them all presented back to back allowed for a more cohesive story over time, a continuity for which, I thoroughly enjoyed. Each bio did a really good job of encapsulating and providing just enough info to help you decide who you want to do more of a deep dive into and learn more about. You could then, for example, read David McCullough's Truman (which I highly recommend), if this book helped pique your interest in that President.

Excellent mini-bio compilation

What an incredible summation of American history! The authors performed an i
remarkably detailed biography on each of the Presidents through Bush 43. The narrative by Mike Chamberlain adds to the unique quality of the storyline. Highly educational, incredibly interesting and informative. This audiobook is riveting!

Outstanding and Practical

It discussed the relationships between various presidents as well as how they each governed. Of course it was very long but interesting.
