As David Mandel, Executive Producer of Veep, praises, Drew Friedman's All the Presidents humanises these iconic figures, portraying their charisma, faults, and frailties through captivating illustrations. The portraits capture notable traits ranging from Trump's self-satisfaction to Theodore Roosevelt's irascibility, inviting readers to engage deeply and appreciate these commanders-in-chief anew.
