Customer Review:
James Polk was more successful than anyone would expect, given that so little is known about him. this book covers the highlights. It's well written and a quick read. Not all the detail some would like, but a good overview and entertaining too.

Polk is our most underrated president. He championed the idea of manifest destiny. He believed the United States was destined to own all the land from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Texas was annexed, and the Mexican War was fought. The treaty added California,... more info

Customer Review:
I am currently reading a bio of every President in order. I generally look for a fairly comprehensive one volume account but unfortunately for Polk there are none available (although the forthcoming 400+ page plus bio by Borneman will hopefully change this). I decided I would save my money to wait... more info

Over the last couple of years, using Amazon reviewers as my guides, I've read more than 25 presidential biographies. Usually, I've been able to find at least one thorough and well written biography.

Customer Review:
Between the end of Andrew Jackson's presidency in 1837 and the beginning of Abraham Lincoln's in 1861 there was a 24 year period of presidential mediocrity. Eight presidents served during this era, four of them for less than a single term, forming a roster of forgettable names: Martin Van Buren,... more info

Customer Review:
This book is a very simplistic overview of the life of James Polk. It is suitable for those looking to find out the BAREST MINIMAL details of this great man's life.
Instead, I recommend _James K. Polk_ by Sean McCollum. For juvenile non-fiction, it gives the same information, but with more... more info
