Ranking the Presidents on Peace, Prosperity, and Liberty

Ranking the Presidents on Peace, Prosperity, and Liberty
By Ivan Eland

With a new chapter on Barack Obama, the new edition of Recarving Rushmore is now available in paperback!

As the current president launches yet another war in the Middle East, Dr. Ivan Eland puts Obama's tenure in the White House in historical perspective—showing us not only how its current occupant compares against his predecessors, but also how the American people have been shortchanged by conventional approaches to assessing U.S. presidents.

Recarving Rushmore is perfect for readers of all ages and political persuasions who are eager for a straight-forward assessment of the 44 men who have held the presidency.
