vi, 186 pages. Illustrations (some with color). Index. Photo Credits. Approximately 8.25 and 11.25 inches. Inscribed by Sidey on half-title page. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Hugh Sidey (September 3, 1927-November 21, 2005) was an American journalist who worked for Life magazine starting in 1955, then moved on to Time magazine in 1957. He covered several Presidents, from Eisenhower to Clinton, and was author of the book Time Hugh Sidey's Profiles of the Presidents. He also hosted the PBS series The American Presidents. Sidey served as president of the board of directors of the White House Historical Association from 1998 to 2001, during the White House's bicentenary celebration. Former president George H. W. Bush delivered a eulogy at Sidey's funeral. Inscribed to Nicholas Christopher, believed to be the Nicholas Christopher (born 1951) who is an American novelist, poet and critic, the author of sixteen books: six novels, eight volumes of poetry, a critical study of film noir, and a novel for children. Christopher graduated from Harvard College with an A.B. in English Literature. After traveling extensively abroad, he returned to New York and began publishing his work. He taught at New York University and Yale before receiving an appointment as a professor on the permanent faculty of the Writing Program of the School of the Arts at Columbia University. From the 1970s, his work has appeared in The New Yorker, Esquire, The New Republic, The Paris Review, The Nation, and The New York Review of Books. For 43 years, Hugh Sidey has been reporting on the White House for Time, Inc. His lively column, The Presidency, has been featured in Time magazine during the past seven administrations. Nobody understands the complex interplay of personality and power in the Oval Office better than he. Nobody writes about it with as much vitality and depth of experience. Lavishly illustrated with photographs from Time magazine's exceptional archives, this is a bracing and intimate view of our last eleven presidents, from FDR to Bill Clinton. At the heart of the book is a fresh profile of each man, drawn from Sidey's unparalleled access to the inner workings of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Vintage columns, each with a new introduction, can be found here as well.
