This audiobook takes a unique approach to presidential history more like a performance review than a textbook. I really enjoyed how it highlights both the achievements and missteps of each leader without getting too heavy. The tone is smart, sometimes even witty, which kept me engaged the whole time. It’s great for anyone who wants a clearer picture of U.S. presidents without diving into dense political theory. I walked away learning a lot and having fun with it!
