The first fully illustrated book in thirty years to examine all the US presidents, the Kunhardts' The American President is an overarching look at our nation's highest office. Organized with the help of historian Stephen Skowroniek of Yale University, the book challenges any fixed notion of what the presidency is or has been. With an original approach, personal interviews with our living presidents, exhaustive research into presidential writings, both published and unpublished, and an impressive advisory team of presidential experts, it brings to fresh and vivid life a complex and ever-changing institution and the extraordinary men who have embodied it.
