Synopsis

Just in time for the inevitable debate about President Bush's place in history, this is an in-depth analysis of the best and worst US presidents."Leaders We Deserved (And a Few We Didn't)" is a light-hearted yet detailed look at the best and worst US presidents. It breaks presidential performance into easily understandable categories - character, vision, competence, foreign policy, economic policy, human rights, and legacy - and assesses, for each category, the best and worst. The result is a surprisingly fresh look at how the various presidents stack up against each other, with some of the standard 'greats' coming off far worse in some ways than their supposedly mediocre colleagues.
