Customer Review:
Originally I purchased this book as part of my required college history class. Needless to say, I wasn't expecting much. This book was a huge surprise.
Some people may be turned off by Leuchtenberg's "negative" appraisal of the early 20th century. But his arguments are well-supported and his... more info

2.Calvin CoolidgeCalvin Coolidge
from Times Books
Price: $13.60

Customer Review:
The auther is functionally illiterate in economics or at least so blinded by his contemporary liberalism that he ignores the plain reading of US history. While the author considers the prosperity of the 20's the effect of preceeding Wilsonian "investment" (ie deficit spending) he ignores the effect... more info

5.Seeing Calvin Coolidge in a Dream: A NovelSeeing Calvin Coolidge in a Dream: A Novel
from St. Martin's Griffin

Customer Review:
Derbyshire's fine novel is innovative in style and concept. For this reason it requires imho some explanations if it is to be fully understood. Thank goodness for Amazon which makes such explanations easily possible. There are at least two issues which might be helpful for at least some readers to... more info

from Beacon Press
Price: $16.00

Customer Review:
I would have liked to have seen a greater number of references and footnoting for the book. While a very good history, it lacks what I would consider a true scholarly outlook. I do not doubt the research, but I have a problem with not being able to follow up on the research.
Overall, this book... more info

7.A Puritan in Babylon: The Story of Calvin CoolidgeA Puritan in Babylon: The Story of Calvin Coolidge
from Simon Publications
Price: $35.95

Customer Review:
Ok, so Silent Cal was not one of our greatest Presidents. He was a very honest President, who had a very shy personality. White wrote this biography in the thirties, and knew Calvin. Even though White knew Coolidge, criticism is still present in this biography. The most damning was Coolidge not... more info

8.The Autobiography Of Calvin CoolidgeThe Autobiography Of Calvin Coolidge
from University Press of the Pacific
Price: $27.50

Customer Review:
To the extent that most Americans remember Calvin Coolidge, it is for a series of amusing anecdotes concerning his economy with words. That characterization is only partly true. Few people know that Coolidge was one of the last presidents who wrote his own speeches and that he held regular press... more info

9.The Presidency of Calvin Coolidge (American Presidency Series)The Presidency of Calvin Coolidge (American Presidency Series)
from University Press of Kansas
Price: $29.95

Customer Review:
This is an awful book for two primary reasons: 1. It portrays Coolidge in the unfair, stereotypical light that people have done for decades. (thus it lacks any new thought) 2. The book, mechanically speaking, is also poor. It is difficult to read, dry, and gives the reader no incentive to continue... more info

In his former book, The Harding Era, author Robert K. Murray sought to analyze the administrative policies of Harding, and in this book, he seeks to explain these policies.
