Summary

"A fascinating new angle on presidential history, assessing the performances of the presidents in their freshman year of the toughest job in the world. Grouped by the issues the new presidents confronted in their first years in office, the book takes readers into the history, thought processes, and results on a case-by-case basis, including how the presidents subsequent actions proved that they learned (or didn t learn) from their mistakes. From George Washington to Barack Obama, The President's First Year details the challenging first twelve months of all our presidents tenures."
