C-SPAN founder Brian Lamb and co-CEO Susan Swain talk about their new book, “The Presidents: Noted Historians Rank America’s Best – and Worst – Chief Executives,” which provides a complete ranking of the presidents based on the network’s much-cited Historian Surveys of Presidential Leadership.
D.C.-based historians Kenneth Ackerman and David O. Stewart, who are featured in chapters on James Garfield and Andrew Johnson, will also participate in the conversation.
Over a period of decades, C-SPAN has surveyed leading historians on the best and worst of America’s presidents across a variety of categories including their ability to persuade the public, their leadership skills, moral authority and more.
Based on interviews conducted over the years with a variety of presidential biographers, this book provides not just a complete ranking of our presidents, but stories and analyses that capture the character of the men who held the office.
The event was introduced by John Maynard from the Newseum who also led the panel discussion.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
