You don't have to be a historian to enjoy this book.
It is a very interesting and readable account of the lives of the many children whose fathers have held the office of president of the United States.
The author traces patterns and events that illustrate the price that families frequently pay for the fame that accompanies high political office. Presidential famlies have seen more than their share of tragedies.
Chapters address the various tragedies and achievements of the children of presidents. It includes chronological lists of presidential children, children who were married while their fathers were in office, the realized life spans of presidential children, and presidential children who worked with their fathers while in office. There is also a chapter on White House weddings.
Altogether, this is a fascinating book, full of facts, anecdotes, and well-researched material. It is easy reading and I recommend it.
