Review # 1 was written on 2011-05-23 00:00:00 Lynda Lansford Quick sketches of the intersection of important 20th century politicians' personal lives with their political careers.

Insight was packed into a short essay, enough that on figures I wasn't interested I wasn't impatient, while being revealing enough that I wound up willing to reconsider my image of those I thought I understood (namely Reagan.)

Review # 2 was written on 2010-01-11 00:00:00 Keith Doss Political history of private indiscretions when made public
