Felzenberg, Alvin S.

The leaders we deserved (and a few we didn't) : rethinking the presidential rating game - New York Basic books 2008. - 442p.

It€™s a perennial pastime to compare U.S. presidents, but our current ranking systems are riddled with flaws. In The Leaders We Deserved (and a Few We Didn€™t), Alvin Stephen Felzenberg offers logical categories of measuring presidential performance—character, vision, competence, legacy, and so on—while assessing, for each, the best and worst we€™ve seen.A fresh and imaginative look at how our presidents stack up against one another, The Leaders We Deserved (and a Few We Didn€™t) uniquely deliberates on the standard “greats€ of our country€™s history, giving them the critical consideration they deserve.
