More power and politics. One of my guilty pleasures is presidential biographies. The level of research that goes into these books is unrivaled. Eisenhower in War and Peace by Jean Edward Smith is wonderful. So is After Camelot by J. Randy Taraborrelli. I’ve read them both multiple times. I’m hoping to add a Bush book similar to After Camelot since so many of them are politicians too. The volume on Obama was a gift and I haven’t tackled it yet. I love Condelezza Rice’s book too. She introduced me to St. Petersburg before I ever saw it. Russia and Eastern Europe are always of interest to me. I’m looking to add a well done book on Putin eventually. These books are expensive and visually daunting but not really hard to read. I think biographers feel the pressure to get everything “right” because the public lives of these people are so accessible. Good reads. #Bookstagram #BlackBibliophile #BlackBookstammer #PoliticalJunkie #HistoryBuff #48LawsOfPower #Russia #Stalin #LyndonBJohnson #Power #TheKennedys #PresidentialBiographies #Biography #AfterCamelot #HistoryGeek #PoliSciNerd (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQBtivDrv5Z/?utm_medium=tumblr
