Description

Calvin Coolidge: A Biography of Unlikely Leadership Amity Shlaes offers a provocative reexamination of America's thirtieth president, tracing his improbable rise from a small town in New England to the White House. From his early days as an unpopular youth shut out of college fraternities to his later success in Massachusetts politics, Coolidge's life is marked by a unique blend of traditional values and modern ideals. Shlaes reveals a complex figure who defied expectations: a man of calm discipline who lived modestly, yet advocated for women's suffrage and pioneered radio broadcasting. Her biography restores national trust in Washington and provides a fascinating glimpse into the decade of unparalleled growth that followed Coolidge's leadership. This riveting biography is both a revision of traditional views on Coolidge and an exploration of the qualities we can learn from his example.
