Title: Cliff's Notes on the Presidency
Review: James Taranto and Leo Leonard?s assessment of the presidency is somewhat disappointing. The book gives a shallow coverage of each of the presidents and does not sufficiently analyze the role of the presidency with any objective criteria. The book appears to have been put together rather hastily and falls short both in biography and in analysis. In short, it most closely resembles a Cliff?s Notes on the presidency. I would recommend the book for younger readers who wish to gain a quick, general idea of our past presidents, but would recommend Jeffrey Cohen?s book on the presidency for the more sophisticated reader.
Is the review positive or negative?
