Title: Overview of the Presidents
Review: Taranto provides concise and generally well-written critical biographies of the presidents (Washington to Clinton) written by authorities on each, along with an interesting ranking created by a wide range of academics and other professionals. Most rankings tend to be either fawning or condemnatory; this is neither. Likewise with the biographies. In most cases, the good and bad on each man is well presented. I very much enjoyed the book.
