In recent times, presidential sex sacandals have plagued the front pages of newpapers and have consumed precious times in Congress. As unbelieving as it may seem, abuse of power in the White House has occurred since George Washington was inaugurated. In "Love, Lust, and Longing in the White House," Webb Garrison takes a look at concealed and past affairs of the chief executives whose actions have been revealed through diaries and letters. Garrison also notes examples of true love and faithful commitments. In these stories are illustrations of true leaders not only in the political realm, but also in the marital arena.
Webb Garrison, formerly associate dean of Emory University and president of McKendree College, wrote more than 55 books, including Civil War Curiosities and Civil War Trivia and Fact Book. Before his death in 2000, Garrison lived in Lake Junaluska, North Carolina.
