As a biography, this was easy to read and seems complete (this is my first biography of Calvin Coolidge). One thing that struck me was that I got the sense Mr. Greenberg was tamping or doing his best to stifle his political beliefs to write this book. I don't doubt the information he presents is accurate, but I believe it may be tinted to downplay any positives President Coolidge achieved. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Coolidge governed during one of the strongest boom times, the Roaring Twenties, and left office just a few months before the crash of '29 and the start of the Great Depression. Looking back from the other side of those bad times, it's clear that things were about to go so wrong. But as Greenberg points out, seeing Coolidge only from that perspective gives a skewed picture of the man. A fuller picture, says Greenberg, is one of a man bridging the gap between 19th century values and 20th century culture.
Recommended. This is a pretty good entry in the American Presidents series. ( )
