In this book, aspiring historian and author Nicholas Cipollo uses a collection of essays written over the past five years to explore the office of President of the United States. With five case studies that include Millard Fillmore, Abraham Lincoln, Lyndon Baines Johnson, Ronald Reagan, and George H.W. Bush, the author explores the issues which they dealt with during their times in office, and how they handled them. From the American Civil War to the Persian Gulf War, and the 1984 Presidential campaign to the Great Society, these men led this nation for better or worse, and through their actions remade the world.
