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.

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.
