From his humble beginnings, Abraham Lincoln rose to be a wartime leader and our 16th president. The author, a former U.S. Senator, shows how Lincoln sometimes went astray, but also how he adjusted his sights and transformed the Civil War from a political dispute to a moral crusade. "Dufris brings the right delivery to the narration, taking a folksy tone – but without affectation – when it's appropriate... His pace makes the book easy to listen to."—AudioFile

A portrait of Andrew Jackson, who shaped the modern presidency. From his expansion of the executive powers to his manipulation of the media, no president has ever been more influential.

An authority on the American Revolution peers behind the accepted heroic image of George Washington to show listeners a leader who was a canny infighter, a master of persuasion, manipulation, and deniability. This audiobook argues that he was one of our most adroit politicians – the proof of his genius is that he is no longer thought of as a politician at all.
