From Washington to Jefferson, Lincoln to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Kennedy to Nixon, Reagan to Obama and Biden, the 45 presidents of the United States have left lasting influences on our country. Some of their legacies continue today, others are rightly forgotten, and some have changed as America has changed.

The authors' extensive research has uncovered historical events never before seen, based on private correspondence and recently discovered documents, such as George Washington's problematic relationship with his mother.

In the book "Confronting the Presidents," O'Reilly and Dugard present 45 fascinating portraits of each president with objective commentary on their achievements or lack thereof. Who served America best and who undermined its institutions? Who were the first ladies and what were their unexpected roles in history? Which presidents were the best, which were the worst, and which had little influence? How do decisions made in one era, under the pressure of specific circumstances, still resonate today? And what do they like to eat, drink, and do when they are not working - or even sometimes when they are working?

These and many other questions are answered in each fascinating chapter of "Confronting the Presidents." Written with the characteristic style, authority, and insight of O'Reilly and Dugard, "Confronting the Presidents" will delight all readers of history, politics, and current affairs, especially during the 2024 election season.
