Description

William McKinley, the 25th President of the United States, is often overlooked in the pantheon of American leaders. However, his impact on the country's future role in the world was significant. In this biography, acclaimed historian Robert Merry sets the record straight, offering a fresh and insightful look at a president whose reputation has been unfairly diminished.

Merry's account reveals a president who transformed America during his two terms in office, from settling decades of monetary controversy to expanding executive power and forging key relationships with other nations. McKinley's leadership played a crucial role in shaping the country's future, paving the way for the bold leadership of his successor, Teddy Roosevelt.

This biography also explores McKinley's personal life, from his humble Midwestern upbringing to his bravery during the Civil War and his tragic assassination. Through a moving and well-researched narrative, Merry sheds new light on a president who, despite his low profile, left a lasting legacy on American history.
