This book was written for a young adult level. It has some nice illustrations and figures. The text is factual and has a positive slant. The book does not encourage the reader to seriously consider some of the important issues and ethical struggles that were covered. Andrew Johnson was President during a tumultuous time in American history. He did not have training or education that would prepare him for the job. He does not appear to have been savvy or strategic. I would recommend this book to a young audience. ( )
