I enjoyed reading Hoover by Kenneth Whyte very much. It’s an insightful look into a complicated man with a complicated legacy
An engaging book, filled with adventure, history, & wit. I truly liked the dark jokes, zingers, and the fact that the author couldn’t let a good story get lost
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
Olsson doesn’t set out to prove the game wrong, but he’s not afraid to call out historical mistakes and use those as a launching point for educational purposes
The book shines with the author writes about Coolidge’s economics. The author makes excellent arguments defending his tax policies and budgetary choices
I thought Mr. Walter made his case, that President Harding, inheriting a nation in crisis, led the United States in a laudable manner

The Bully Pulpit by Doris Kearns Goodwin could be considered three books in one. Two biographies and a history of investigative journalism
After reading this book, I agree with the author that Grover Cleveland deserves to be better remembers than just a trivia answer
