History of American Presidential Election 1789 - 2001

Rating:
Summary: Tough going, but worth it
Review: The ad for this book recommends it for young teens. No way! This is a very dense series of books and requires some very close reading. If you're willing to do that though these books are very worthwhile. They discuss every presidentiaal election from that of George Washington to the younger Bush in great detail and also provide documentations from the relevant period (the Jay Treaty, editorials from newspapers, the party platforms, and much more).

I would highly recommend this series for anyone interested in the history of presidential elections and how it developed over time.
