For reference librarians, journalists, history buffs, and more, a treasure trove of information about the US presidency for each day of the year from the popular, award-winning White House journalist Paul Brandus. The Atlantic calls Brandus "one of the top Washington insiders your should follow on Twitter" (@WestWingReport).
For each of the 366 days of the year, Brandus offers a little-known, fascinating fact; a historical anecdote; and pithy quotes from and about the 45 presidents of the United States--from George Washington to Donald Trump. This Day in Presidential History will surprise its readers with the inside information that Brandus has uncovered in his years on the White House beat.
Here are stories that span war and peace, sex and scandal, frivolity and tragedy--and everything in between, including:
* the night Abraham Lincoln and John Wilkes Booth met at Ford's Theatre--17 months before Booth's crime.
* the advice Richard Nixon gave Donald Trump.
* the president who gambled away the White House china.
* the only president to be censured by the U.S. Senate.
* the joyriding teens who crashed into the president's car--and lived to tell the tale.
* the secret swearing in.
* and much more.
Brandus's previous book, Under This Roof: A History of the White House and Presidency (Lyons Press, 2015), was one of Publishers Weekly's "25 Christmas Recommendations."
