Following the success of THE PRIME MINISTERS, published last November to great acclaim, chosen as a Times Political Book of the Year and winner of the Parliamentary Book Award for the Best Political Book by a Non-Parliamentarian, Hodder & Stoughton has acquired two new books edited by Iain Dale. THE PRESIDENTS, to be published on the anniversary of the US elections in November 2021, will follow the same engaging formula as THE PRIME MINISTERS, with an essay on each of the 46 American presidents written by a range of academics, historians, political journalists and serving politicians. Each contributor has been carefully chosen based on expert knowledge of their subjects and personal connections, providing analysis of their subject's successes, failures and influence. Any hagiographical writing is shunned in favour of a 'warts and all' perspective on each President and the impact they've had on US politics – past, present and future.
Iain Dale says: ‘I could not be happier to be publishing two more books with Rupert Lancaster and Hodder. The success of THE PRIME MINISTERS proves there’s a real thirst for knowledge about historical and contemporary figures, and I’m looking forward to turning my attention to presidents and monarchs.’
Hodder & Stoughton Non-Fiction Publisher Rupert Lancaster comments: ‘Iain is the ultimate professional author. His ability to assemble a stellar cast of contributors is a huge reason behind the success of THE PRIME MINISTERS. Interest in US politics has never been greater, so THE PRESIDENTS is very timely, while I’m sure that combining monarchs and writers for KINGS AND QUEENS will prove both entertaining and insightful’.
