“… Defending Yourself Against the Badasses Who Ran This Country.”
I enjoyed it very much. How to Fight Presidents: Defending Yourself Against the Badasses Who Ran This Country is both funny and reasonably fair about the various people who have been President; the author did a good job at mentioning both the good and bad things that our various Presidents have done, and easily passed the Reagan Test*. Plus, there were lots of suggestions on how to fight the various Presidents, which is after all what the book is about.
Seriously, pick it up. You’ll learn some interesting bits of Presidential history, in between all the combat tips.

PS: The book pretty specifically avoids mentioning living Presidents, which was certainly wise of it.
*Basically, it’s whether a (presumably not hardcore Republican conservative) author can manage to avoid sneering at Ronald Reagan, now that Reagan’s safely dead and the author knows that doing so is a cheap way to get laughs from one-third of the audience and snarls from half. I’m pleased to say that author Dan O’Brien is a better person than that; heck, a better amateur historian. Although… is ‘amateur’ the right word? I mean, he did get paid for this.
I assume the strategy for fighting Carter is to throw a rabbit at him?
