Accidental Presidents: Eight Men Who Changed America by Jared Cohen

3.0

While the first half of the book was well-written and engaging, by the time the book focuses on the 20th century, the prose is rambling and begins to lack much substance. The acknowledgements indicate that the author is a Google executive and decided to eschew a research assistant, so this decline in quality smacks of hubris and "tech bro knows best" applied to disrupting the analysis of history.
