Catches the Fathers of our country with their pant down! The most notoriously philandering of all was John F. Kennedy-whose dangerous escapades are chronicled in a special four-chapter expose. Also featured is extensive coverage of Presidents throughout history, such as Washington, Lincoln, Lyndon B. Johnson etc. Sullivan explores the activities of our five living Presidents: Nixon (whose love for wife, Pat, seemed to dry up after they entered politics), Ford, Carter, Reagan and Bush. Presidential Passions is a highly entertaining, in-depth exploration of the amorous exploits of America's insatiable Chief Executives. These keyhole glimpses into the private lives of our presidents will surprise and shock you but they are all verifiably true: How was the insatiable JFK s bed hopping a threat to national secrurity? Which First Lady had a lesbian affair? What foreign woman took Ike away from Mamie and nearly took Eisenhower out of military service? Which president kept a slave mistress? The answer s to these and other titillating questions about the sexuality of our Presidents will keep you entranced and entertained as history takes a detour at the Oval Office and peeks into the bedroom.

This review is from: Presidential Passions: The Love Affairs of America's Presidents : From Washington and Jefferson to Kennedy and Johnson (Paperback)

Glimpses into the private lives of some of the Presidents of the USA, and their love affairs...not quite up to date, but still not a bad book. A sort-of combination of history and scandal.

Very interesting. More people of the U.S. should read this before passing judgment on any one political party.

This review is from: Presidential Passions: The Love Affairs of America's Presidents : From Washington and Jefferson to Kennedy and Johnson (Hardcover)

The stories and accounts (and gossip) in this book are presented very poorly. The organization of the book is incoherent and the author is not presenting the stories with an unbiased eye. He frequently engages in critical assessments of the women in the affairs as "beautiful" or "ugly," ususally presented as his opinion instead of what others' accounts of the women actually were. His sources of information are dubious and highly suspect. I really would not suggest this book at all. This is a very interesting subject given by an author with a complete lack of story-telling ability.
