If you can't win, at least be wised-up!

American political history is one of the most outright fascinating subjects in the world. (At least for English speakers with no science!)
Characters, institutions, events, writings - all full of intrinsic interest, as well as valuable for the perspective they give on current events.
(Always taking care with those analogies, mark you!)
So much of today's political commentary, it seems to me, rather assumes that the historical US started with Clinton. With Reagan, Nixon, LBJ and earlier being like Greek myths - snippets of fairy tales.
