Synopsis:

A humorous portrait of the ten worst presidents includes Calvin Coolidge, Richard Nixon, and others and focuses on the two most overrated presidents--Thomas Jefferson and John F. Kennedy--in a book that questions the morals, beliefs, misconduct, and efforts of the leaders of our country that caused major debacles affecting a nation. 30,000 first printing.

Review: John Dorfman The Washington Post Book World An amusing and instructive book...what stands out are his anecdotes, most of them humorous or just plain bizarre.

Anne Stephenson The Arizona Republic The interesting, often funny stories [Miller] tells are comforting proof that we've had bad presidents before, and survived them all.

Lowell Branham The Knoxville News-Sentinel Anyone who's studied history might wonder how Miller was able to boil his list down to only ten.

The Tampa Tribune A disturbing view of a system where presidential candidates are often chosen on the basis of their inability to upset anyone, thus making mediocrity one of the aspects of job description.
