Synopsis :

From heroic George Washington to the dastardly Richard Nixon, the oval office has been occupied by larger-than-life personalities since 1789. The position comes with enormous power and responsibility, and every American president thus far has managed to achieve great things. However, the President of the United States is only human--and oftentimes far from perfect. While some men suffered through only minor mishaps during their time in office, others are famously remembered for leaving behind much bigger messes.

In the third installment of the Epic Fails series, authors Erik Slader and Ben Thompson, and artist Tim Foley, take readers on another hilarious ride, exploring the lives, legacies, and failures of some of America's commanders in chief.

À propos des auteurs: Ben Thompson is a writer, podcaster, and author of fourteen books on various awesome historical subjects, including the Guts & Glory and Epic Fails series. He has appeared on television programs for the History Channel, Discovery, and the American Heroes Channel, and has written articles for outlets such as Cracked, Mental Floss, and The American Mustache Institute. He currently owns four swords (if you count a letter opener shaped like Glamdring the Foe-Hammer), and is very happy that he appears on the Wikipedia disambiguation page alongside a famous gunfighter, Count Rumsford, and like a dozen Australian Rules Football players.
