About this listen

Vice House: Presidential Vice and its Impact on American History takes listeners behind the scenes of the White House to uncover the vices, scandals, and moral failings that have shaped the nation’s highest office. From the Founding Fathers to modern presidents, this book delves into the personal lives of America’s leaders to reveal how their choices influenced policy, public opinion, and the course of history.

Explore the hidden stories of presidents who navigated the fine line between public duty and personal temptation. Discover the gambling habits of Ulysses S. Grant, the extramarital affairs of Warren Harding, and the secret health struggles of Franklin D. Roosevelt. With a focus on both the human and historical aspects of the presidency, Vice House sheds light on how these flaws shaped America’s political legacy and the public’s trust in its leaders.

This book combines compelling storytelling with rigorous analysis, offering listeners a nuanced perspective on the intersection of personal vice and political power. It examines how opponents managed or exploited scandals, how the press shaped public perception, and how each president’s failings reflected the cultural and moral values of their time.

Perfect for history enthusiasts, political junkies, and anyone curious about the human side of leadership, Vice House uncovers the untold stories that textbooks leave out. Drawing on primary sources, eyewitness accounts, and extensive research, it paints a vivid picture of how personal character impacts governance and the long-term reputation of the presidency.

Whether you’re fascinated by presidential history, intrigued by political scandals, or searching for a deeper understanding of the men who’ve led the United States, Vice House delivers a thought-provoking journey through America’s most powerful address.
