The 10 Best Presidential Autobiographies

Ulysses Grant wrote this first-hand account of the Civil War and his presidency shortly before his death. How much of its charm comes from his own charisma and how much from h…is friend Mark Twain is debatable, but this first presidential autobiography is worth reading.Written as he campaigned for the presidency, Theodore Roosevelt's tightly-written and exciting account of his service in the Spanish American War set a high bar that other presidential biographies â?? even Roosevelt's second â?? would have trouble meeting.While Jimmy Carter has written longer books and done more work since leaving the White House, this simple book allowed Carter to step into the political limelight as a virtual unknown from the South while remaining an outsider to Nixon-era politics.If you're looking for a quick read, Coolidge's autobiography is the shortest on the list. He discusses his life before and during the presidency, and most moving are his genuine sadness at President Harding's death and surprise at his own inauguration.In this book, Dwight D. Eisenhower tells stories from his childhood through his presidency, often stopping to address details that he felt were inaccurately covered by the media during his time in public life. Rather than write to make a point, Eisenhower's reflections wander over many subjects, but this makes it more readable.We never got the chance for a Kennedy retrospective, but Lyndon Johnson chose to write this lengthy book after he left office. Rather than cover his entire life, this autobiography focuses closely on the decisions LBJ made regarding the Vietnam War and is essential for historians of the era.At nearly eight hundred pages, Reagan's autobiography leaves no stone unturned, discussing everything from his acting career to his governorship to his presidency at the end of the Cold War. Critics felt he was too forgiving to be truly historical, but it is still enjoyable.Bill Clinton's My Life reads almost as if it was dictated, with a strong sense of Clinton's voice filling each page. He recounts many presidential events from memory with his characteristic charm, emphasizing that he believes most people are fundamentally good.George W. Bush's autobiography skims most of his life prior to the White House, instead focusing on the many controversial events of his presidency. He explains the reasons for his choices on Iraq, Afghanistan, Hurricane Katrina and other memorable political tussles.Released while he was considering his presidential run, Barack Obama's second autobiography was a New York Times bestseller and Grammy winner that expanded on his 2004 Democratic convention speech, addressing his political opinions and the values his life had taught him.
