Book excerpt: The scion of a political dynasty ushers in the era of big government An engrossing ferry to 19th century America, Benjamin Harrison is sure to capture every political enthusiast's attention. Join Charles W. Calhoun as he renders a fresh perspective on one of America's most controversial leaders. The book serves as an insightful biography of Harrison, a prominent Indiana attorney and Republican champion, considered by some as the harbinger of big government. A politically gifted progeny, our protagonist's DNA carries signatures of greats like William Henry Harrison, the ninth president, and a signer of the Declaration. Despite losing the popular vote, Harrison managed to inflict a crushing defeat on the incumbent, Grover Cleveland, in the electoral college in the historic election of 1888. A fertile blend of political tumult, personal tribulations, and unprecedented events, this narrative vividly unravels the anxious race for a second term and the culminating silence of Harrison to the beat of Cleveland at their fabled rematch. The vibrant backdrop of the Gilded Age coupled with the intricate detailing of Harrison's life and times makes this rendition instrumental for every American history aficionado. The book uncovers rich facets of the enigmatic Harrison while confronting under-explored themes like the Sherman Antitrust Act, McKinley Tariff, and the Panic of 1893. Calhoun's captivating storytelling delivers an intimate account of presidential dynamics in 19th-century America.

Download or read book George Washington written by James MacGregor Burns and published by Times Books. This book was released on 2013-12-17 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A premier leadership scholar and an eighteenth-century expert define the special contributions and qualifications of our first president Revolutionary hero, founding president, and first citizen of the young republic, George Washington was the most illustrious public man of his time, a man whose image today is the result of the careful grooming of his public persona to include the themes of character, self-sacrifice, and destiny. As Washington sought to interpret the Constitution's assignment of powers to the executive branch and to establish precedent for future leaders, he relied on his key advisers and looked to form consensus as the guiding principle of government. His is a legacy of a successful experiment in collective leadership, great initiatives in establishing a strong executive branch, and the formulation of innovative and lasting economic and foreign policies. James MacGregor Burns and Susan Dunn also trace the arc of Washington's increasing dissatisfaction with public life and the seeds of dissent and political parties that, ironically, grew from his insistence on consensus. In this compelling and balanced biography, Burns and Dunn give us a rich portrait of the man behind the carefully crafted mythology.
