Book excerpt: It's a perennial pastime to compare U.S. presidents, but our current ranking systems are riddled with flaws. In The Leaders We Deserved (and a Few We Didn't), Alvin Stephen Felzenberg offers logical categories of measuring presidential performance - character, vision, competence, legacy, and so on - while assessing, for each, the best and worst we've seen. A fresh and imaginative look at how our presidents stack up against one another, The Leaders We Deserved (and a Few We Didn't) uniquely deliberates on the standard ''greats'' of our country's history, giving them the critical consideration they deserve.
