		<description><![CDATA[Reviewed by Michael Oppenheim for American History MagazineBy Charles W. CalhounTimes Books, June 2005










Benjamin Harrison is the answer to a trivia question: Who is the only president (1889-93) whose predecessor and successor was the same man, Grover Cleveland?

		<description><![CDATA[Reviewed by Mike OppenheimBy H.W. BrandsDoubleday, 2005









Andrew Jackson (1767-1845) was our most unlikable president: touchy, belligerent, prejudiced, poorly educated. The hatreds of his youth (Britain, banks, the Eastern establishment, Indians) stayed with him until his death. Yet he was unquestionably an energetic, charismatic leader.

		<description><![CDATA[Reviewed by Steven Martinovich By David Hackett FischerOxford University Press, 2004










 Looking back on history, Americans tend to view the year 1776 through a Vaseline-coated lens. Determined to forge a new nation and throw off the shackles of British imperial rule, Americans united and defeated a powerful, well-trained military. Heroic images, such as Emmanuel Leutze&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

 In 1609 Henry Hudson, an Englishman employed by Holland, sailed up his eponymous river past Albany. He didn&#8217;t find a route to Asia, for which everyone yearned, but he did report that the lands he saw were rich, fertile and unoccupied. This intrigued his employers, the [...]]]></description>
