Nathan Miller
(Author)
Description
Every American knows the merits of the nation's best presidents, but in this authoritative yet amusing book, respected presidential biographer Nathan Miller shows us the leaders notable for their abject failures as chief executives. With pointed humor and a deft hand, Miller presents a rogues' gallery of those men who were both incredibly fallible and occasionally farcical.

Reviews
John Dorfman The Washington Post Book World An amusing and instructive book...what stands out are his anecdotes, most of them humorous or just plain bizarre.
Anne Stephenson The Arizona Republic The interesting, often funny stories [Miller] tells are comforting proof that we've had bad presidents before, and survived them all.
Lowell Branham The Knoxville News-Sentinel Anyone who's studied history might wonder how Miller was able to boil his list down to only ten.
The Tampa Tribune A disturbing view of a system where presidential candidates are often chosen on the basis of their inability to upset anyone, thus making mediocrity one of the aspects of job description.
