Book Review: Hatred of America’s Presidents: Personal Attacks on the White House from Washington to Trump

Abstract

Books on the greatness of American presidents fill America’s bookstore shelves. However, this work focuses instead on the hatred and opposition that each president faced. It sets itself apart from a book like The American President: A Complete History (by Kathryn Moore), which covers the national and world events of each president’s term, but does not necessarily cover the backlash presidents receive in response to those events. Many books focus on assassinations of presidents, but they do not typically include additional information about every president’s term, as this one does.
