"Informative resource"-- American Reference Books
"Single volume standout ... excels at presenting a great deal of information in a succinct, manageable question and answer format."-- Asheville Citzen-Times "In question-and-answer format, Hudson (first amendment scholar, Vanderbilt U.) concisely explains key facts about US presidential campaigns, cabinets, and policies as well as trivia about the First Family."-- Book News "[C]hapters feature not only historical data but a personal look at the man who was president in a manner that will keep the interest of young readers. Students will be particularly interested in the personal aspects of the men who seem so removed from our lives in most history books. Many first ladies are mentioned, which is refreshing. Placing the president within the happenings of the period supports understanding, as well. A comprehensive index is included."-- Children's Literature "A beefy contribution to presidential studies, the kind of resource from which one could easily build an interesting term report for school. A serious piece of presidential scrutiny."-- Kirkus Reviews "...a storehouse of information about all aspects of the presidents' lives."-- Oklahoma City Oklahoman "If there's something you need to know, if you're selected for a presidential trivia game show, if you want to impress people with White House facts, you want to own this book."-- The Children's Book Review "Hudson has done an excellent job."-- VOYADavid Hudson Jr., JD, is the author or coauthor of more than 20 books, including "The American Bar Association Guide to Credit and Bankruptcy," "The Encyclopedia of the First Amendment," and "The Handy Supreme Court Answer Book." He works as a First Amendment scholar at the First Amendment Center and teaches at Vanderbilt Law School, the Nashville School of Law, and Middle Tennessee State University. He lives in Smyrna, Tennessee.
