The fifteenth President of the United States is the subject of this book from the "MyReportsLinks.com" series. A brilliant scholar, James Buchanan was nevertheless a troublemaker as a youth. In fact, he nearly failed to graduate from college. He decided to practice law, then turned quickly to politics and was elected to the state legislature at the age of 23. For more than 50 years, Buchanan would remain active in politics. A controversial president, he has been sharply criticized for his actions with regard to slavery and secession leading to the Civil War. This book, like others in the series, is supplemented by both a list of print resources for further reading and a list of 30 Internet sites related to the president's life and times, accessible via the myreportlinks.com Web site. 2003, Enslow,— Heidi Hauser Green
