Description: "Hugh Sidey, the veteran writer of Time magazine's popular column "The Presidency," has reported on America's chief executives for Life and Time magazines since 1957. Over the course of more than four decades, he has become one of America's foremost observers of the Oval.".

"Sidey has collected his memories, anecdotes, and reflections on America's eleven most recent presidents - from Franklin D. Roosevelt to Bill Clinton - in this volume, Hugh Sidey's Profiles of the Presidents. At the heart of the book is a fresh profile of each president, based on Sidey's unique insider's view of these multifaceted men. In these pages, after a lifetime of what he calls "president-watching," Sidey shares his opinion of such memorable individuals as John F.

Kennedy, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan. And there's much more: Sidey has reviewed his archives and written fresh introductions to vintage columns that shed further light on each president. And the book includes a pictorial biography of each president, as well as a picture gallery of the major events of his term.".

"To complement Sidey's matchless anecdotes, Time's editors have collected hundreds of photographs that offer a surprising, fresh view of the American presidents and their families. From Dwight Eisenhower flipping blackjacks in a Colorado bunkhouse to Franklin Roosevelt and his inner circle dressing up as members of a Roman imperial court, Hugh Sidey's Profiles of the Presidents is a visual volume that will find an honored place on bookshelves."--BOOK JACKET.
