Beschloss brings to life these flawed, complex men--and their wives, families, friends and foes, in an intimate, behind-the-scenes view of presidents coping with the supreme dilemmas of their lives. As he shows, none of these presidents was eager to incur ridicule, vilification or threats of political destruction and even assassination. But in the end, bolstered by friends and family, hidden private beliefs and, sometimes, religious faith, each ultimately proved himself to be, in Andrew Jackson's words, "born for the storm."--From publisher description. 0aPresidentszUnited StatesvBiographyvAnecdotes. 0aCouragezUnited StatesvCase studies. 0aUnited StatesxPolitics and governmentxDecision makingvCase studies. 0aUnited StatesxForeign relationsxDecision makingvCase studies. 4aPresidenteszEstados UnidosvBiografías. 4aEstados UnidosxHistoria. 4aEstados UnidosxPolítica y gobierno. 4aEstados UnidosxRelaciones exteriores.413Table of contents onlyuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip078/2007001111.html423Publisher descriptionuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0708/2007001111-d.html413Sample textuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0711/2007001111-s.html  aBaker & TaylorbBKTYc28.00d21.00i0684857057n0006927018sactive  aYBP Library ServicesbYANKn2465499  aBaker and TaylorbBTCPnBK0007374901  2lcccbk  aC0bDRFGD  acsexposito  c4314d4314  00102lcc40708RRaBJBbBJBcRRd2023-04-04h1l0o002 E 176.1 B554p 2007p00000042763r2018-10-23 00:00:00t1w2018-10-23ybk
