Documents the many concealments, half-truths and outright lies
perpetrated by presidents and their doctors."--U.S. News and World
Report
"In this fascinating account of the mismanagement of presidents'
health problems since the days of Grover Cleveland, Robert Ferrell
reminds us that being important carries no guarantee about
receiving good health care. He details medical treatment of
presidents that has ranged from the marginally adequate to the
scandalously incompetent. Compounding the problem Ferrell describes
is the deliberate concealment of presidential illness by presidents
and their handlers over the years."--Register of the Kentucky
Historical Society
"Well organized and solidly documented, the book is written in more
or less journalistic fashion; the narrative is absorbing, while the
recounting of the episodes of illness is generally accurate and
authoritative."--Journal of American History
