Review # 1 was written on 2013-09-24 00:00:00 Kelly Grimes Bedre lærebok går det knapt an å skrive. Poengtert hele veien. Aldri uvesentlig utenomsnakk. Den røde tråden mistes aldri av syne. En del av stoffet er eksemplifisert med kuriøse/morsomme/oppsiktsvekkende dommer som er lette å huske. Den beste læreboken på de fire første årene av jusstudiet (men må kanskje dele førsteplassen med Jo Hov)...

Review # 2 was written on 2018-03-17 00:00:00 Max Prez This book is from 1958 & It;s great for 2 reasons, one I expected, one I did not 1) It gives great insight for what some people (represented by the author of course) thought of the presidents in 1958. For example, FDR is not on a pedestal as he is now & given a love.hate treatment citing - for instance his smile was seen by some to show his irresistible charm, to others it showed his "insincerity & deviousness." In this book, the red scare of the 1950s is real and credible and largely ignored by Truman. And the Andrew Jackson chapter has no mention of Indian Removal. Also the blatant right-leaning bias of the author is almost comical. Grover Cleveland is described as "physically unattractive, weighed 260, bull-necked, no gift for oratory" while McKinley was "A gentle dignified man of kindness and sincerity" (no physical description given) 2) The unexpected great thing was the terrific photos & lithographs. You think with the internet & easy access to Library of Congress & the likes, many would have been seen before, but instead it was a treasure trove of unseen (at least for me) presidential images A great find at a local library $5-a-bag book sale!
