Wead analyzes the types of families in which they were reared, and offers fascinating psychological profiles based on his findings. Using presidential letters and personal correspondence -- as well as notes from his own private conversations with six presidential families -- Wead brilliantly portrays the early lives, loves, and political awakenings of George Washington; John Adams and the rest of America's first dynasty; Lincoln, who never betrayed his humble roots; Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy, each raised in prominent political households; and the once and future commanders in chief Bush. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e More than just political biography, \u003ci\u003eThe Raising of a President\u003c\/i\u003e sheds new light on America5;s presidents, who were not only born but made.","brand":"Atria Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43351872733439,"sku":"9780743497275","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780743497275_s600x595.jpg?v=1776100903","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780743497275","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
