About this listen
Named one of the Best Books of the Year by Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times • The New York Times Book Review • NPR • Publishers Weekly
"This absorbing and important book recounts the titanic struggle over the implications of the Civil War amid the impeachment of a defiant and temperamentally erratic American president." (Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Soul of America)
When Abraham Lincoln was assassinated and Vice-President Andrew Johnson became "the Accidental President", it was a dangerous time in America. Congress was divided over how the Union should be reunited: when and how the secessionist South should regain full status, whether former Confederates should be punished, and when and whether Black men should be given the vote. Devastated by war and resorting to violence, many white Southerners hoped to restore a pre-Civil War society, if without slavery, and the pugnacious Andrew Johnson seemed to share their goals. With the unchecked power of executive orders, Johnson ignored Congress, pardoned rebel leaders, promoted white supremacy, opposed civil rights, and called Reconstruction unnecessary. It fell to Congress to stop the American president who acted like a king.
With profound insights and making use of extensive research, Brenda Wineapple dramatically evokes this pivotal period in American history, when the country was rocked by the first-ever impeachment of a sitting American president. And she brings to vivid life the extraordinary characters who brought that impeachment forward: the willful Johnson and his retinue of advocates - including complicated men like Secretary of State William Seward - as well as the equally complicated visionaries committed to justice and equality for all, like Thaddeus Stevens, Charles Sumner, Frederick Douglass, and Ulysses S. Grant. Theirs was a last-ditch, patriotic, and Constitutional effort to render the goals of the Civil War into reality and to make the Union free, fair, and whole.
Praise for The Impeachers
"In this superbly lyrical work, Brenda Wineapple has plugged a glaring hole in our historical memory through her vivid and sweeping portrayal of President Andrew Johnson’s 1868 impeachment. She serves up not simply food for thought but a veritable feast of observations on that most trying decision for a democracy: whether to oust a sitting president. Teeming with fiery passions and unforgettable characters, The Impeachers will be devoured by contemporary readers seeking enlightenment on this issue.... A landmark study." (Ron Chernow, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Grant)

Ulysses S. Grant's life has typically been misunderstood. All too often he is caricatured as a chronic loser and an inept businessman or as the triumphant but brutal Union general of the Civil War. But these stereotypes don't come close to capturing him, as Chernow reveals in his masterful biography, the first to provide a complete understanding of the general and president whose fortunes rose and fell with dizzying speed and frequency.

Grover Cleveland’s political career—a dizzying journey that saw him rise from obscure lawyer to president of the United States in just three years—was marked by contradictions. A politician of uncharacteristic honesty and principle, he was nevertheless dogged by secrets from his personal life. A believer in limited government, he pushed presidential power to its limits to combat a crippling depression, suppress labor unrest, and resist the forces of American imperialism.

Story
James A. Garfield may have been the most extraordinary man ever elected president. Born into abject poverty, he rose to become a wunderkind scholar, a Civil War hero, and a renowned and admired reformist congressman. Nominated for president against his will, he engaged in a fierce battle with the corrupt political establishment. But four months after his inauguration, a deranged office seeker tracked Garfield down and shot him in the back. But the shot didn’t kill Garfield. The drama of what happened subsequently is a powerful story of a nation in turmoil.

Roosevelt led a revolution that he bequeathed to Taft only to see it compromised as Taft surrendered to money men and big business. The rupture led Roosevelt to run against Taft for president, an ultimately futile race that gave power away to the Democrats.

Despite his promising start as a young man, by his early 50s Chester A. Arthur was known as the crooked crony of New York machine boss Roscoe Conkling. For years Arthur had been perceived as unfit to govern, not only by critics and the vast majority of his fellow citizens but by his own conscience. As President James A. Garfield struggled for his life, Arthur knew better than his detractors that he failed to meet the high standard a president must uphold. And yet, from the moment President Arthur took office, he proved to be not just honest but brave.

Story
Hated and hailed, excoriated and revered, Abraham Lincoln was at the pinnacle of American power when secessionists gave no quarter in a clash of visions bound up with money, race, identity, and faith. In him we can see the possibilities of the presidency as well as its limitations. This book tells the story of Lincoln from his birth on the Kentucky frontier to his leadership during the Civil War to his tragic assassination: his rise, his self-education, his loves, his bouts of depression, his political failures, his deepening faith, and his persistent conviction that slavery must end.

Story
As a young man, Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) escaped from slavery in Baltimore, Maryland. He was fortunate to have been taught to read by his slave owner mistress, and he would go on to become one of the major literary figures of his time. He wrote three versions of his autobiography over the course of his lifetime and published his own newspaper. His very existence gave the lie to slave owners: with dignity and great intelligence, he bore witness to the brutality of slavery.

Now Amity Shlaes provides a fresh look at the 1920s and its elusive president, showing that the mid-1920s was in fact a triumphant period that established our modern way of life: The nation electrified, Americans drove their first cars, and the federal deficit was replaced with a surplus.

Story
While the North prevailed in the Civil War, ending slavery and giving the country a "new birth of freedom," Heather Cox Richardson argues in this provocative work that democracy's blood-soaked victory was ephemeral. The system that had sustained the defeated South moved westward and there established a foothold. It was a natural fit. Settlers from the East had for decades been pushing into the West, where the seizure of Mexican lands at the end of the Mexican-American War and treatment of Native Americans cemented racial hierarchies....

Forgotten American History Revitalized
An in depth, highly interesting account of the all but forgotten impeachment and trial of Andrew Johnson. There's much fascinating detail about the personalities and events during the precarious era of reconstruction after the nightmare of the Civil War and how close America came to continued bloodshed and possible disunion. Gabra Zackman's narration is excellent.

Interesting piece of forgotten history
If you want to understand what happened between the death of Abraham Lincoln and the civil rights movement of the 1960's, this book is a great place to start. It does a great job of describing the institutional bigotry and division that remained embedded in the country after the civil war and for decades to come.
It's also interesting to read in light of current politics. If Andrew Johnson wasn't convicted by the senate after he was impeached, is it possible that anyone ever will be?

Absorbing
Now that the congress is conducting an impeachment investigation of Trump, I thought it would be a good idea to read about Johnson’s impeachment trial. Wineapple recounts the struggle over the implication of the Civil War amid the impeachment of an erratic president.
The book is well written and researched. Andrew Johnson (1808-1875) was a Southern Democrat born in North Carolina. He wanted to return the South to the way it was prior to the War. He had lenient reconstruction policies toward the South and he vetoed the Reconstruction Act. He started his political career in the Tennessee legislature. In 1843 he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Tennessee. Wineapple discusses Johnson’s presidency (1865-1869). The impeachment as well as what goes into an impeachment. Congress had tried multiple times to impeach Johnson before finally succeeding to trial only to lose. Wineapple includes the history primarily in the South post the Civil War emphasizing the treatment of the freed slaves. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I learned a lot about Johnson and the difficulties of impeachment.
The book is fourteen hours and thirty-six minutes. Gabra Zachman did a good job narrating the book.

The History I Never Learned in High School
I hesitated buying a book that's more than 14 hours long about an impeachment hearing. I'm glad I put that thought aside and purchased this book.
In high school, we learned that Congress passed the Tenure of Office Act to trap President Johnson into either living with an opponent (Sec. of War Stanton) in his cabinet or firing him and setting up an impeachment and trial. We never learned about the politics that led to the ToO Act and foretold this showdown.
The author provides a compelling history on the aftermath of the War of Northern Aggression, the political battles around Reconstruction, the balance between a dead president's and surviving politicians' visions of how the nation should heal, and the life story, character, and biases of perhaps the nation's most 'accidental' president.
President Johnson comes across as a dim-witted drunkard and his opponents in the Congress as power-grabbers. The book does into quite a bit of detail detailing this three-year tension-filled era in hour history and lays the foundation to understanding Republican victories in eight of the next 10 presidential elections.
If you're into US history around this era and haven't written a dissertation on the politics of Reconstruction, you're probably going to learn a lot by listining to this book.

Criticism of reader
I don’t expect a chosen reader to be extremely literate. But she mis- pronounces several words: premises which she viewed as a Latin derived word pronouncing it ending eez, and raffish, mis- pronounced as if it were spelled RAFISH. Good voice though

True and Timely
This gripping story of the impeachment of Andrew Johnson reveals the complex human drama and political debates of post Civil War America, of which slavery and race are paramount. It also exposes a central issue of our own times, whether impeachment is a viable remedy for an incompetent and corrupt president.

Overwhelming
Extremely welk-researched but there was simply too much detail here for this non-scholar. Seemingly hundreds of characters are mentioned only once and most are presented without much context. You will learn about the impeachment of Andrew Johnson in painful depth but the book was a slog to get through.
