Description

John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson, Chester Arthur, Theodore Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson. Eight times in our republic, a vice president has succeeded on the death of the president-history altered by a heartbeat. Each would have to step out of the shadow and learn to be president. Accidental Presidents describes some of our history's most momentous decisions and crucial turning points. It's a powerful argument against a limited reading of the Constitution. Book jacket.
