The Presidents, First Ladies, and Vice Presidents is the first place to look for facts about the White House and vice president office. Detailed biographies of the presidents are informative and entertaining and are illustrated with three-quarter length portraits. First ladies and vice presidents receive shorter biographies, each of which includes a portrait. The biographies examine the early lives of these celebrated Americans as well as important events that occurred while they held office. This edition is expanded by more quick lookup facts at the start of each biography and in comparative tables.
An introductory chapter describes the typical routine of a president's business day and the evolving role of the first lady. A detailed index helps readers easily trace names, places, and events from the early days of the presidency to the present.
