President James K. Polk, often overlooked yet ever-consequential, comes to life in this "compelling, perceptive portrait" (The Wall Street Journal) biography of the 11th President of the United States, Andrew Jackson prot g , and champion of "manifest destiny."

In a one-term presidency, James K. Polk completed the story of America's Manifest Destiny--extending its territory across the continent by threatening England with war and manufacturing a controversial and unpopular two-year war with Mexico. A crucial architect of modern America, James K. Polk deserves to be elevated out of the mists of history (Jon Meacham, author of American Lion).

Good shorts
Lightweight shorts, good fit/cut. The fabric is thin and seems like it is one layer. Not the greatest quality but good for the price. Material breathes well and is great for workouts. I do question durability but after a couple of washes, they’re still going strong.
