The History Buff's Guide to the Presidents: Top Ten… di Thomas R. Flagel
This is the second book I've read in the History Buff's series and I really enjoyed it. The format is great with a small intro section and then top ten lists that give a good overview of the subject and enough detail to keep you engaged, but not drowned in specifics.
Really liked the structure of this book. Done in a top 10 style that gave enough information to let you decide if you want to read more on a subject without weighing you down with too many details.
The History Buff's Guide to the Presidents: Top Ten Rankings of the Best, Worst, Largest and Most Controversial Facets of the American Presidency by Thomas R. Flagel is a book I think I should have loved but sadly it was just okay. Worth a read but it was full of facts stated either too boring or too opinionated. (Mainly slanted just right of center). I think it was boredom that got to me, there were tons of cool facts it was just the presentation that lacked. But fact filled it was! Opinions too. Oh, well. Got this from the library so it didn't cost me anything but my tax dollars hard at work.… (altro)
Irresistible collection of Civil War-themed lists that seems to hit a very wide range of topics from causes of the war to best and worst generals to the soldier's food fare to the home front. All in bite-sized bits I was able to read while waiting at MacDonalds and that sort of thing. Too bad its too late to add The Free State of Jones to be added to the Best Civil War films.
