I enjoyed reading Hoover by Kenneth Whyte very much. It’s an insightful look into a complicated man with a complicated legacy
The Lincoln Miracle puts the Republican convention into context of the national battle against slavery. The context doesn’t start, or stop, at the convention
Woodrow Wilson, it seems to be, was the first modern President. A man who ran the office as a Prime Minister with reform-oriented goals.
After reading this book, I agree with the author that Grover Cleveland deserves to be better remembers than just a trivia answer
If this wasn’t a history book, I would have thought that The Death of a President by William Manchester is a Shakespearean tragedy
A wonderful conclusion to the award-winning trilogy. The biography starts after Roosevelt has left the White House, and follows him until his death
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
A compelling narrative of an administration steeped in non-stop scandal, much of it its own doing. Touching almost every headline generated from the oval
This was a fascinating book, and certainly intensively researched. Mr. Morris’ narrative is very readable, it is obvious he is fascinated Mr. Roosevelt
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
