Impeachment of Andrew Johnson

the long version

"While it is commonly known that Andrew Johnson was the first president to be impeached, less well known are the circumstances that led to the unsuccessful campaign to remove him from office. This full account of Johnson's political life in Washington (and, briefly, his early career in Tennessee) focuses on his conflict with the Radical Republicans, and clearly illustrates the danger when one branch of government tries to dominate the others."--BOOK JACKET.
