Lyndon Baines Johnson

This book is the definitive short biography of Lyndon B. Johnson, especially his most important Great Society laws and his involvement in the Vietnam War, by a master presidential biographer.

Few American lives covered as much ground as that of Thomas Wentworth Higginson. Born to New England patriarchy in 1823, he lived almost to the outbreak of World War One. Militant abolitionist and member of Boston's Secret Six supporting John Brown's insurrection, he led one of the first all-Black volunteer regiments in South Carolina during the Civil War.

Martin Van Buren

A new biography of the 8th president of the United States, the first chief executive not born a British citizen and the first to use the party system to chart his way from tavern-keeper's son to the pinnacle of power.
