Compliments my new video well haha. Great to meet you a few days ago!

LBJ and Nixon have always fascinated me personally and politically.

I would recommend Almost President, which is a compilation of 3rd party and general election candidates who lost but heavily influenced re-alignments in their party and the country.

RFK had so much potential, it's tragic

I love your channel, i would love if you talked about México and Poland

I go to this channel to relax

Your channel is awesome! Wish people made more content about the presidency. You should make a video about House of Cards haha!!

Continues with the videos man really enjoying them ❤

Fala André sou brasileiro e estou terminando essa biografia do JFK escrito pelo Logevall. Seu canal é excelente.

great vid definitely will get some of these back and read them!

Would recommend Erik Larson's newest book: the Demon of Unrest. Focused on Fort Sumter in the months leading to the Civil War, the book provides a remarkable study of Lincoln in the months before he became president. Worrying parallels to today.

I’d recommend reading Barack and Joe, it talks about the relationship between the two during their years in the senate, White House, and out of the political stage. It’s very interesting if you want to learn how they came to politics, and how they grew past their differences and became friends

Andre, thanks for the recommendations! As someone going into college this year and still considering my major(s), your channel has been an incredible source of information and enjoyment, to the point where I now think I'm going to double major in English and History, hopefully to become a historian/author. I had already read some great biographies particularly on the Roosevelts and the first Caro book (incredible btw) but wasn't sure what to read next. Thanks for the recommendations again, and thank you for making such incredible videos!

Love your videos man

Amazing video man, as always. Off topic, but after watching your videos on Lyndon Johnson I would kill to see a video from you deep-diving into the life, accomplishments and impact of Richard Nixon; beyond Watergate and the surrounding scandals. Your video on Nixon’s thoughts of other presidents is also a great watch.

you should get the Brazilian dollar from the 90s framed just in case lol! President LBJ is underrated because he was blamed for the Vietnam War, civil rights, and succeeding President Kenedy. I am sure living up to Kenedy had a lot of pressure from just that. I'm sure those books look deeper into the person other than just the role itself in a government sense. "Heavy the head that wears the crown" is a quote I think that each autobiography or biographies in a sense tells of each person in that role. With the Quote president Carter had; I think shows a lot of character of what he has to carry himself each day.

Loved it! You should do Grant next he is my favorite of all time!

André, if you like Robert Caro you should read his book “The Power Broker” about Robert Moses, I’m reading it now and it’s absolutely incredible.

I also would recommend going to LBJ's childhood home in Johnson City (not actually named after him) and the LBJ ranch. (However they're fixing the home so it's only a drive tour around the ranch but still cool to see!)

I really enjoyed The Last Politician as well as The Fight of His Life, both about the Joe Biden presidency. Both only cover his first two years in office but still so fascinating and provide details I never knew about him and his staff

Haven't bought it yet, but I want to read the Theodore Roosevelt trilogy by Edmund Morris. I've read Jon Meacham's books on Andrew Jackson and Thomas Jefferson, Ron Chernow's book on George Washington and John Ferling's book on John Adams, and they were very insightful. Making my way through "Team of Rivals" at the moment.

Simply lovely video!

I'd love to reccomend the books Catching The Wind and Against The Wind, the two part biography on Ted Kennedy by Neal Gabler. If you liked seeing the Senate through LBJ, then you'll really get something out of this read.

Another great video Andre! Love the channel. Keep up the great work brother :)

My favorite book is David McCullough's book on TRUMAN. It came out around 1992 and its interesting how all 3 candidates tried to make themselves seem Trumanesque. Bush had alot of things going on in foreign affairs AND that he's dealing with a "Do Nothing" Congress. Clinton is a guy with humble beginnings and is the Democratic Standard Bearer. Perot has populist appeal and dealing with a long-shot campaign.

Enjoy your videos immensely! Would love to see you do a video on the US territories and whether or not they should be incorporated into the union (ie made states). I used to think not, but with my newfound closeness to Puerto Rican culture thanks to my wife (who's from there) and our daughter, I've started to think it should be. And I've started to believe in the French method and making all inhabited US territories full states. They all conform to Article 4 requirements in the constitution.

When's the Calvin Coolidge video

Great video!!! Would appreciate it if you did one on Gerald Ford’s presidency as he is pretty forgotten when it comes to recent presidents.

Interesting. But all those presidents were not particularly important for the world's future. They were quite human. And that could draw readers to their bio's. But a glimpse into how Haldeman of the Nixon Whitehouse reorganized how the presidential mansion was used for more efficient executive command- and Nixon's use of this extraordinary place shows far more futuristic thinking. Further, RMN's understanding of world leaders, and the movement of foreign national thinking, puts him in a world leader category. He wasn't particularly appreciated in his own country. But he certainly was internationally. And in the long run this is better.

You should read team of rivals if you haven’t already!

This is an excellent analysis. You have provided a lot of valuable background on the presidents. However, as a political scientist, I suggest there are other books you could examine, such as “Presidential Power and the Modern Presidents: The Politics of Leadership from Roosevelt to Reagan" by Richard E. Neustadt and “The Politics Presidents Make: Leadership from John Adams to Bill Clinton" by Stephen Skowronek. Again, I love your videos. I just think these books would be beneficial as well.

I would recommend that you read Jon Meacham's book Destiny and power and Scott Bergs Woodrow Wilson are very good.

I would recommend the boom The World That Wasn’t by Benn Steil! It’s about Vice President Henry A. Wallace! If you find him interesting, I’d love to hear your thoughts on him!

I could probably write a list of thirty recommendations or more, but I'll keep it to three. - The Unexpected President by Scott S. Greenberger: Covering the life of Chester Arthur (someone who rarely shows up on these sorts of lists!), and his incredible story from being a machine hack who no-one expected anything good from, to a leader greatly respected by friends and opponents alike. - Hoover by Kenneth Whyte: Despite being about 600 pages long, I finished this one in two days because it was that good - and somehow Hoover's presidency is the least interesting part of the whole story, which is really saying something given how well it challenges the notion that Hoover was a do-nothing leader who abandoned Americans to the Great Depression. Not to mention, Hoover managed to be a genuine war hero in WWI without doing any fighting. - The Last Campaign by Thurston Clarke: Seeing as you offered a book on RFK, I feel this one belongs on the list too. It explores RFK's 1968 run, from the day he became a candidate to his assassination 82 days later. Hope and tragedy were the two things that marked RFK's campaign, and this book blends the two absolutely perfectly. No exaggeration, I consider this the greatest book I have ever read.

Great vid as always. I've noticed how you seem to focus on post-war presidents for the majority of your videos. Do you have any intentions of making videos about pre-war or even 19th century presidents? Cheers

I recommend Jean Edward Smith’s Grant and Chernow’s Hamilton(aware he wasn’t president). It’s hard not to love Grant after reading, despite a questionable presidency.

Hello Andre, I was wondering if you have read the memoirs of President Grant? I have not read them myself but I have read they are actually a very good look into what the Civil War was like especially since they were basically written for money since he was broke at the time.

Do more kennedy's content

Any book recommendations on FDR?

4:43 hate to be the one to say this, but Caro **is** 88...
