After reading the very informative threads on the Best Presidents and Best VEEPs over in Great Debates, I’ve concluded that I really should know more about the US Presidents.
I prefer reading biographies as my entry into historical studies. Does anyone have any suggestions for good, one-volume biographies of the various presidents, acessible to the general reader, rather than aimed at academe, and interesting to read?
(I realise that for some of the Presidents, like Fillmore and Pierce, there may not be any bios that fit these parameters, but I think I can live with not knowing a great deal about them.)
Any and all suggestions welcome.
