From George Washington to Barack Obama, these are not the presidents we see in history books. Instead, when they courted the women they wanted to marry, or seduced women outside of their marriage, they often showed a side the public did not see--playful, passionate, tender, consumed by desire. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSome of the letters are incredibly romantic--and surprisingly so. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt took Richard Nixon years to convince Pat Ryan to marry him: \"Someday let me see you again? In September? Maybe?\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOthers will make you blush. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStaid-looking Woodrow Wilson, about to return home from a trip, warned his wife of ten years: \"Do you think you can stand the unnumerable kisses and the passionate embraces you will receive? Are you prepared for the storm of lovemaking with which you will be assailed?\" In letters to one of his mistresses, Warren G. Harding referred to his penis as \"Jerry\"--letters which would later be used to blackmail him. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAll the letters show the writer at his most vulnerable. We see letters of sorrow written about the death of a child or during a time of separation while the president was away on the battlefield. This beautiful book is a captivating collection of love stories revealing a human side of the men we still honor today.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDorothy and Thomas Hoobler have written many award-winning books for adults and young adults.
