Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"In this short and brilliantly written book, award-winning author Gordon-Reed ... argues that the nation went from the best President to the worst during this most crucial period of its history." --Library Journal

"In a short biography, all bases can be covered, but the author is still left to exercise the tone of a personal essay, which this author accomplishes brilliantly." --Booklist (starred review)

"A fair-minded, toned-down portrait of a deeply problematic president who could not rise to the country's challenge after the Civil War." --Kirkus Reviews

Reseña del editor:

A portrait of America's 17th president describes how Andrew Johnson was unexpectedly thrust into America's highest office following the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, his failed efforts to bring about reconciliation following the Civil War, the antagonism of congressional leaders who sought his impeachment, and his legacy. 25,000 first printing.
