Architectures of Russian Identity: 1500 to the Present
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.
