We the Presidents

"Essential reading for every conscientious citizen." - U.S. Review of BooksThe anniversary edition of We the Presidents, published on July 4, 2026, commemorates the 250th Anniversary of American Independence. The new edition has been extensively updated from the acclaimed first edition published in 2022.Rather than a traditional presidential history, We the Presidents focuses on how a century of presidents, from Warren G. Harding to Donald J. Trump, have shaped today's America. Many of today's critical issues ¿ immigration, inflation, income disparity, civil discord, and wars ¿ had their roots in earlier presidencies. Tracing the path from the nineteen-twenties and Warren G. Harding to the controversial presidencies of Joe Biden and Donald Trump, We the Presidents explores the growth of presidential power and the changing role of the executive. With over 140 images and charts, We the Presidents brings their lessons alive.As one reviewer commented, "We the Presidents is more than an absorbing read; it is a compelling education on the issues which have shaped the American century up to the present day."
