PRESIDENTS OF WAR:THE EPIC STORY FROM 1807 TO MODERN TIMES BY MICHAEL BESCHLOSS takes the readers to a very young US and the War of 1812 to modern day war. Each President facing his worst nightmare : a nation at war and how each president handles it. From James Madison who is seen fleeing into the night as the White House burns to modern day, this book is wonderful for us "students of history" like myself. It is NOT, however, a dry book stuffed with just dry facts. It is written to make the history of our country come alive. Even though this is nonfiction (yes there is footnotes galore, ) it lets the reader live the moment and still learn new things about our country and our wars.
I received this book free from goodreads in exchange for an honest review.
