This is an extremely provocative book, a libertarian assessment of our Presidents, which turns American Presidential History on its head. Eland ranks the Presidents from Washington to George W. Bush on their records regarding peace, prosperity, and liberty. The results will surprise you. Eland's prose is workmanlike, and he is repetitive, but the book is still worth reading. You can easily skim this book to get the gist.
