Books like Character Above All: Ten Presidents from FDR to George Bush

So my younger boys and I finished this last night.I’ve said many times, I’m not exactly happy with the curriculum of history in their classes so I make up for a lot of it by reaching for some of our most epic biographies and authors. Doris Kearns Goodwin, Stephen Ambrose, David MacCullough, etc.Each President got a wonderful essay and I surprisingly found Reagan and Fords to be most interesting. While reading over the last couple weeks, we’d jump around, google, debate, interact. I recently just watched my oldest march off to the marines. Not an easy thing to do, but reading about Presidents and how they handled conflict is extremely interesting and comforting in some strange way. Especially those chosen here. I was also dissapointed by how very little they had learned about The Cold War. So, that’s going to be my next pick up. There is no 1980s without it.Recommend as a starting point, however my kids did say Teddy Roosevelt is still the best bada** we’ve had, lol.
