From the chief White House correspondent for U.S. News & World Report, a fascinating and unique look at our presidents' retreats, hideaways, and homes.
In Air Force One, Kenneth T. Walsh looked at presidential history from the unusual and illuminating vantage point of the presidents' planes. Now he focuses on the various retreats where our commanders-in-chief have gone to escape the hustle and bustle of Washington, chronicling the important decisions that were made and the historic events that have occurred at them. Moreover, he describes what these sites reveal about the characters of the presidents and the times in which they lived.
From George Washington (Mount Vernon) to George W. Bush (Crawford ranch), from FDR (Hyde Park) to JFK (Hyannisport), almost every single president has had a beloved place where he could really be himself. Based on Walsh's interviews with four of the living presidents, as well as scores of officials and staff, From Mount Vernon to Crawford is a fascinating glimpse into this largely unexamined facet of American government.

From Mount Vernon to Crawford: A History of the Presidents and Their Retreats
Decent book about presidential retreats. Not all presidents included but Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln, T. Roosevelt, F. Roosevelt and all through G.W. Bush. The Nixon portion reads like it a cut and paste from some other book, and, like many books by other reporters, Republican moves are treated more critically than similar Democrat moves. All in all, not a bad book.
