A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The 2008 Presidential election is almost here and that can only mean one thing: our days are about to get a lot more entertaining. Beyond their wisdom, skill, and statesmanship, presidents are also famous for their tendency to show off horrendous manners, procrastinate on world affairs, say nonsensical things, and get into wild scandals. Clearly, being onstage all the time has its challenges and nothing proves it better than these delightful anecdotes, abridged from the critically acclaimed compendium by Oxford University Press. Including public and insider stories from 41 presidents, all the way from George Washington to Bill Clinton, it's an amusing reminder that it takes a lot more than grace-after-gaffe to be a great leader.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Dramatic, poignant, hilarious, and sentimental: anecdotes about US presidents are as varied as the presidents themselves, and people have enjoyed hearing them since the early days of the American Republic. This new and revised edition of Presidential Anecdotes recounts some of the most striking stories about America's forty-two Chief Executives, from Washington to Clinton.
