Out this week: Author in Chief: The Untold Story of Our Presidents and the Books They Wrote by Craig Fehrman.
The author spoke to the New York Times: “Back in 2008. Like most Americans, I was obsessed with the presidential election. I was struck by Obama’s books, both how good they were and how much they were appealing to readers. And I wondered: Is there a history to this? Are there other books that resonated this way? That history was so much richer than I expected. The tradition was as old as America. These books have been at the center of our history, and have made a huge impact.”
