Filled with sharp humor, keen insight, and rich, in-depth information, this book has been translated into lively, natural English so that readers can naturally improve their English skills page by page.

From the first president, George Washington, to the 43rd president, G. W. Bush, this volume traces the political history of the United States through the lens of the presidents who led it to become the world's foremost superpower. From John F. Kennedy, who remains a poignant American fantasy figure, to Ronald Reagan, who brought down the wall of communism and ended the era of ideological conflict, to George Bush, who declared the War on Terror and championed a new world order led by the U.S.—readers can trace the eras defined by the presidents that Americans considered the greatest leaders of their time. 1st George Washington: America's Founding Father who Laid the Foundation of Democracy 2nd John Adams: Man of Self-sacrifice who Put Country before Ambition 3rd Thomas Jefferson: Author of the Declaration of American Independence, of the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom and Father of the University of Virginia 4th James Madison: Father of the Constitution that Established Separation of Powers and Checks and Balances 5th James Monroe: Defender of the New World from European Interference 6th John Quincy Adams: Intellectual Leader with Top Educational Background 7th Andrew Jackson: Pioneer of the Era of Mass Democracy 8th Martin Van Buren: First Career Politician to Become President 9th William Henry Harrison: First 'Image Politician' 10th John Tyler: First Vice President to Ascend to the Presidency via Succession 11th James K.
