"In The Presidents Decoded: A Guide to the Leaders Who Shaped Our Nation, author Katie Kennedy presents the 45 people who have held the role of President of the United States. From George Washington to Joe Biden, each leader's time in office is broken down and explained through primary sources--documents, letters, policies, and diaries--that show the what, how and why of our leaders' thoughts, decisions and policies. Familiar documents like the preamble of the Declaration of Independence, The Emancipation Proclamation, and The Fugitive Slave Act--the part of the Compromise of 1850 that set the country on a path to Civil War--are included.

Full-color illustrations bring each president and their time in office to life on the page in their career-defining moments as history marches forward and changes the job - and the way of life - through inventions like the camera, the telephone, the first metal detector, services like the Navy and the Red Cross begin, and Twitter.
