Customer Reviews

Fair and Balanced

It was truly amazing how the author stayed unbiased thru this very interesting and important time of our country. I caught myself saying, "I didn't know that!" about every other page. Relevant for today's partisanship in our govt..

excellent evocation of a distant, difficult time

Gene Smith's treatment of the l868 impeachment and trial against President Andrew Johnson is beautifully written and presents fair, yet compelling portraits of all of the major players. In the wake of the most recent impeachment crisis concerning President Clinton, this book becomes more important than ever.
