From Washington & Adams to Trump & Biden: The Stories behind the Story of Every U.S. Presidential Election

This is not your usual history book; although Dr. Murdock previously published books about U.S. presidential elections, he’s a storyteller (he has published many novels). It is, therefore, a book of stories. It tells the story that lies behind the story of every presidential election in U.S. history, including the story of Donald Trump’s surprising 2016 upset of Hillary Clinton, his startlingly different way of presiding over the country, and his eventual defeat by Joe Biden in 2020, the pandemic year.Dr. Murdock explores, in depth, the complex Electoral College System by which we elect our presidents, and he describes the role that slavery played in how the Congress and the Electoral College were originally designed.
