Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. As new condition heavy blue boards/navy blue spine/gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Michael Beschloss; Author Dedication; Preface; Prologue: The Fugitive; Epilogue; Acknowledgments; Source Notes; Photo Credits; Index and About the Author. Illustrated with two sections of both black-and-white and color photographic plates plus two-color front and rear illustrated endpapers. 2nd Printing. "In this brilliant work, Michael Beschloss burnishes his already bright reputation. He tells a gripping tale of courage and mendacity as well as recurring defiance of the constitutional requirement to seek congressional approval for making war. A monumental and profoundly important achievement." - Ron Chernow, Pulitzer Prize-winning author. "In this monumental book, the incomparable Michael Beshloss tells the riveting story of how, through history, our Presidents came to be so powerful and to lead Americans into waging major wars. With his new research discoveries and unerring eye for human detail, Beschloss has brought us an unforgettable narrative. Presidents of War is a landmark book about power, leadership, and human nature itself." - Jon Meacham, Pulitzer-prize winning author. "With his historian's eye for telling detail and a novelist's appreciation for the quirks and crotchets of individual personalities, Michael Beschloss has crafted a sweeping chronicle of presidential war-making from the birth of the republic to the twenty-first century." - David M. Kennedy, Pulitzer prize-winning author. "Ten years in the making, Presidents of War is a fresh, intimate, irresistibly readable narrative of how a procession of Chief Executives took the nation into major conflicts, mobilized Americans for victory, and seized greater power for themselves. Beschloss's findings in original letters, diaries, and declassified documents, and his interviews with surviving participants in the drama, allow him to bring us into the room and into the minds of these men as they make the most difficult decisions that face any President, at times sending hundreds of thousands of American men and women to their deaths. From James Madison and the War of 1812 to Lyndon Johnson and Vietnam, we see these leaders struggling with Congress, the courts, the press, their own advisers, and antiwar protesters; seeking comfort from their spouses, families, and friends; and dropping to their knees in prayer. We come to understand how these Presidents were able to withstand the pressures of war - both physically and emotionally - or were broken by them. Presidents of War combines this sense of immediacy with the overarching context of two centuries of American history. Through his rich and vivid storytelling, Beschloss shows how far we have traveled, from the time of our Founders, who tried to constrain presidential power, to our modern day, when a single leader has the potential to launch nuclear weapons that can destroy much of the human race." - from the inner front jacket flap.
