Worst. President. Ever.: James Buchanan, The POTUS Rating Game, and The Legacy of the Least of the Lesser Presidents (inscribed by the author)
Lyons Press, 2016. Hardcover. A fine, fresh, unread copy in equally fine dust jacket. INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR ON THE TITLE PAGE. Hardcover. xiv+ 257 pp. with bibliography, index. Illustrations. A book that flips presidential biography on its head, offering an enlightening, entertaining, and at times hilarious account of poor James Buchanan's Presidency to prove that few leaders could have done worse. Author Robert Strauss, an admitted presidential history buff, propels readers through Buchanan's terrible term in office---meddling in the Dred Scott decision, exacerbating the Panic of 1857, helping forment the John Brown uprisings and "Blood Kansas" , and virtually inviting a half dozen states to secede from the Union and initiate the Civil War. Fine / fine. Item #E36430
