Alternative Look at Why A Man Became President

Tall men have a much better chance of becoming president, especially when running against a shorter man! Military service used to be an important aspect of a candidates qualifications; not so anymore. This is a light, entertaining look at why our past presidents won their elections. It brings political history alive.

Another must have for anyones political library

Ben Shapiro writes excellently on excellent subject matter. He has yet to produce a mediocre or sub par piece of printed literature. Project President is an interesting take on a not so interesting subject. Don't be fooled by the latter, as Shapiro has fact-mined some really fascinating items and put them together in a delightfully entertaining and educational book. Recommended for any politico or anyone with even the slightest of historical interest. You don't need to be a politics junkie to enjoy Bens work in general and this book is no exception.

Engaging, with a lot of interesting and generally unknown tidbits.

This book is great read. The analysis is flawless and the book is filled with numerous facts and pieces of information that will delight the reader.

Go for it

I bought this book on a whim at the airport, and I gotta say that I was pleasantly surprised. It's a fun overview of our presidents from a unique perspective.
