In the first major, in-depth study since World War II, Michael P. Riccards provides a narrative history of the U.S. presidency that is also an invaluable reference.

Volume Two Continues the history up to the presidency of George Bush.

In Volume Two, he provides coverage of each administration and extended treatment of the more important presidents.
