Despite a political career spanning five decades, Andrew Johnson was one of the most unpopular and unsuccessful of all American presidents. He was the subject of considerable historical controversy, and his conservative stand on nearly every social and political issue altered the course of reconstruction following the Civil War.
Glenna R. Schroeder-Lein and Richard Zuczek are professional historians at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN.
"The articles are well written and concisely explain each subject... This would be a worthy addition whenever there is more than cursory interst in Johnson and is essential for major research libraries." - Library Journal "Writing is clear and accessible, authoritative without being pedantic ... an interesting counterpart to other works on the era, particularly for academic and large public library settings." - Booklist
