Plot: Written by Shaun Micallef - Australia's answer to Doris Kearns Goodwin (assuming the question was very badly worked) - The President's Desk is a daring nudie run across the political landscape of the world's most beloved superpower. The President's Desk is the story of America as seen through the eyes of its most powerful piece of furniture. Standing in the most important office in the land for over a hundred years, it has been sat at by no less than twenty-four of the greatest men who ever lived (I'm leaving out Nixon, obviously). This epic retelling of the history of the United States takes us from the desk's early life as the humble timbers of a barquentine frozen in the waters of the Arctic, through its transformation by decree of Queen Victoria, to over a century in the Oval Office as an eventual antique.
