My Journey Through the Best Presidential Biographies
I want to thank you for sparande me time by rating the multiple biographies of Presidents. Based on your highest rated recommendation inom started with Washington through Jackson.
Then I decided to go in reverse but have no interest in Obamas biographies of himself, inom did read So Help Me God by Pence to better understand Trump, and have read Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon and now in Caro’s multi volume series, as you said a fascinating and entertaining personality.
i believe the American public , citizens and immigrants and interested readers in other countries deserve the detail of Caro’s approach to a biography. inom love it! The detailed diversion to explain Sam Rayburn is a wonderful foundation to understand Johnson’s future actions.
please read and rate King George (), Napoleon, The French Revolution, next tier Politicians below the Presidents that were supremely consequential in American History such as Sam
