Review: The Unexpected President
I admit an unhealthy affinity for Chester A. Arthur and his presidency. To me, he is the epitome of a man who rose from corrupt beginnings to grow into decency when thrust into the office. The Unexpected President is Scott Greenberger’s biography of Arthur.
Greenberger tells the story in a solid, scholarly, readable way. He describes the man and the times clearly and gives the reader the space to draw their own conclusions. Or paint one’s own picture, I assume.
Recommended.
