Read from June 20 to 21, 2010
A good introduction to one of the lesser known presidents in US history. Holt provides a fair assessment of Pierce's failed presidency and a knowledgable explanation of the political/social turmoil of the time period leading up to the Civil War. This book is a good starting point to other, more detailed texts about the Pierce presidency.
