C-SPAN's "America's Book Club" — Lois Romano, a writer and biographer of Mary Todd Lincoln, said she thinks President George W. Bush was "grossly underestimated."

"I came away thinking he was grossly underestimated. I mean, he was the class clown. He was a president's son. But he proved to be an incredibly smart political operator and an amazingly disciplined campaigner," Ms. Romano said.

Watch the entire interview SUNDAY at 6pm & 9pm ET/PT on C-SPAN.
