Summary

Your high-school history teachers never gave you a book like this one! Secret Lives of the U.S. Presidents features outrageous and uncensored profiles of the men in the White House, complete with hundreds of little-known, politically incorrect, and downright wacko facts. You'll discover that George Washington spent a whopping 7 percent of his salary on booze John Quincy Adams loved to skinny-dip in the Potomac River Warren G. Harding gambled with White House china when he ran low on cash Jimmy Carter reported a UFO sighting in Georgia And Richard Nixon sheesh, don't get us started on Nixon! Now with a new chapter on the winner of the 2008 presidential election, Secret Lives of the U.S. Presidents tackles all the tough questions that other history books are afraid to answer: Are there really secret tunnels underneath the White House? Which presidential daughter bared everything for Playboy ? And what was Nancy Reagan thinking when she appeared on Diff'rent Strokes ? American history was never this much fun in school!
