Impeached: The Trial of President Andrew Johnson and the Fight for Lincoln's Legacy
“Riveting. . . Stewart vibrantly renders . . . the poisonous politics, the personal animosities and the unbridled corruption that will leave readers rooting for both sides to lose. Likely to become the standard version of this historic clash between a president and Congress.”
—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
The Summer of 1787: The Men Who Invented the Constitution
"…I wish today’s political leaders, especially in Washington, would show the courage and willingness to fight for what they believe in, but possess an understanding of the need to compromise to solve the nation’s problems. They all need to go off and read [The Summer of] 1787."
—General Colin Powell, New York Times Book Review
