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.
At head of title: Time.
"A Bulfinch Press book."

Franklin D. Roosevelt -- Harry S. Truman -- Dwight D. Eisenhower -- John F. Kennedy -- Lyndon Baines Johnson -- Richard Milhous Nixon -- Gerald R. Ford -- Jimmy Carter -- Ronald W. Reagan -- George W. Bush -- William J. Clinton.

Library Journal Review
Sidey has written his "The Presidency" column for Time magazine since 1966, and in Profiles of the Presidents he shares anecdotes about the human side of the presidents, from FDR to Clinton. Each president receives two columns, which have weathered well, and a retrospective piece. Among the many incisive columns is a touching remembrance of the dedication of the FDR monument and Sidey's personal favorite about Truman's 1948 "whistle-stop" campaign. Hundreds of pictures from Time-Life include Richard Nixon improving his respectable 180 bowling average and Lyndon Johnson howling a duet with his Yorkie, Yuki. This warm remembrance belongs in all public libraries and on all politically inclined coffee tables. The more scholarly Campaigns is recommended for most public libraries.
