The Accidental President
David Kaplan’s book, The Accidental President: How 413 Lawyers, 9 Supreme Court Justices, and 5,963,110 Floridians (Give or Take a Few) Landed George W.

Sometimes, there is some “side-taking”, but it is not too apparent as Kaplan tries to extinguish any type of bias to lay out an accurate account of one of the nation’s most eventful elections. David Kaplan is a writer for Newsweek, who has much experience and insight into the entire matter. With his book, he takes us inside a significant moment in American history—one would be the topic of discussion for years to come. Kaplan does what he can with bias. Of course, everyone has their own bias. Judging from what is written; I can easily identify Kaplan as a democratic liberal (supp
