Description: "In Pols a company of writers - novelists, poets, biographers, historians, and journalists - portray the lives and times of politicians from Bryan to Reagan some famous, others infamous, all fascinating." "Pols is intended for readers who relish the art of biography - the fans of David McCullough (he's here) and Robert A. Caro (he's here too, but not on Lyndon Johnson); for admirers of FDR, JFK, and LBJ; for students of history and of journalism; and for those who are open to literary experience - to being moved, infuriated, or delighted by words on a page."--BOOK JACKET.
