I enjoyed reading John Tyler, the Accidental President and learned a lot about a President whose name most Americans won’t even recognize.
Relying on documents relating to Harrison’s activity in Indiana from the Indiana Historical Society, the author provides a window into frontier challenges
A wonderful conclusion to the award-winning trilogy. The biography starts after Roosevelt has left the White House, and follows him until his death
As someone working closely with Mr. Pratchett, the author witnessed the tragedy, as well as comedy, of working with a declining beloved person
The book tells of the camps by following Peter Fleischmann, a Jewish aspiring artist, and orphan who got to England through the kindertransport
Politics and policy took front and center in Theodore Rex by Edmund Morris, which was interesting, but Mr. Roosevelt’s life to a second seat
The author’s conclusion is that Hamilton has been, most likely, was born and raised Jewish, dispel assumptions about Hamilton’s childhood in the Caribbean
This was a fascinating book, and certainly intensively researched. Mr. Morris’ narrative is very readable, it is obvious he is fascinated Mr. Roosevelt
I enjoyed The Unexpected President, despite the lack of documents left to us by Arthur. He destroyed all his papers towards the end of his life.
This is a powerful book, it starts a bit slowly but picks up soon after, and is certainly difficult to put down once the trial begins
