Book Review: Polk: the Man Who Transformed the Presidency and America

The 11th president and topic of this weeks #bookoftheweek is James K. Polk and the book is Polk: The Man Who Transformed the Presidency and America by Walter R. Borneman. Polk is another one I didn't know much about but this introduced a lot of information and reinforced that history does not happen in a vacuum.
