Publisher's Summary

A fascinating new angle on presidential history, assessing the performances of all 44 presidents in their freshman years of the toughest job in the world. Grouped by the issues the new presidents confronted in their first years in office, The President's First Year takes listeners into the history, thought processes, and results on a case-by-case basis, including how the presidents' subsequent actions prove that they learned - or didn't learn - from their mistakes. From George Washington to Barack Obama, The President's First Year details the challenging first 12 months of all our presidents' tenures.
