Publisher's Synopsis

Featuring revelations about the reality of presidential illness. The presidency is hazardous to health, this book looks at modern presidents, including Coolidge, FDR, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Reagan and, briefly, Bush, showing in some cases that all suffered from debilitating medical problems, physical and/or psychological, which they frequently concealed from the public, but which profoundly affected their administrations.
