Having read biographies of most of the past Presidents, I have formed opinions under several headings of their value to life in America as we know it. One of those headings is: Contributions to the country after they have been superseded. I was pleased to find this book and have dipped into it over a long period of time. Mr. Skidmore has not ranked them in order of his perceived contributory value but in a chronological order. That's why I have flipped forward and back through the book to help me form my list. My head likes to function that way. Other readers who like to think in these terms will enjoy this book. It doesn't delve deeply into anything, it just presents what the author has found out in his search on the subject. I liked it and will read it again. (

BILL CLINTON WAS ONLY 54 AND STILL YOUTHFUL AND VIGOROUS, WHEN HE LEFT the White House in January 2001. George W. Bush, replacing Clinton, was the same age going into office as Clinton was when he departed after serving for eight years. What does a relatively young man whose résumé includes two terms as president of the United States do?
