Summary

For 43 years, Hugh Sidey has been reporting on the White House for "Time, Inc". Nobody understands the complex interplay of personality and power in the Oval Office or writes about it with as much vitality and depth of experience. Lavishly illustrated with photos from "Time" magazine's archives, this is a bracing and intimate view of our last 11 presidents, from FDR to Bill Clinton. 268 photos.
