Dramatic, poignant, hilarious, and sentimental: anecdotes about US presidents are as varied as the presidents themselves, and people have enjoyed hearing them since the early days of the American Republic. This new and revised edition of Presidential Anecdotes recounts some of the most striking stories about America's forty-two Chief Executives, from Washington to Clinton.
