FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Amity Shlaes reclaimed a misunderstood president with her bestselling biography Coolidge. Now she presents an expanded and annotated edition of that presidents masterful memoir.The Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge is as unjustly neglected as Calvin Coolidge himself. The man caricatured as Silent Cal was a gifted writer. The New York Times called him the most literary man who has occupied the White House since 1865. One biographer wrote that Coolidges autobiography displays a literary grace that is lacking in most such books by former presidents. The Coolidge who emerges in these pages is a model of character, principle, and humility - rare qualities in Washington. The autobiography offers great insight into the man and his philosophy. Calvin Coolidges leadership provides urgent lessons for our age of exploding debt and government power. Shlaes and coeditor Matthew Denhart, president of the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Foundation, underscore those lessons in an enlightening introduction and annotations to Coolidges text. This handsome new edition is the first to appear in nearly fifteen years. It includes several of Coolidges greatest speeches, more than a dozen photographs, a timeline of Coolidges life, and other new material. This autobiography combats the myths about one of our most misunderstood presidents. It also shows us how much we still have to learn from Calvin Coolidge.

Review This book is the forgotten classic of presidential writing - a massive hit in its own time and a model for how todays presidential memoirs might be better. Coolidge was a terrific writer." - Craig Fehrman, author of Author in Chief: The Untold Story of Our Presidents and the Books They Wrote Review Quote "Calvin Coolidge was an astute president, and his memoir an underappreciated account of what its truly like to preside at the pinnacle. This new edition of his autobiography--with his modesty, decorum, and steadfastness--offers us a resonant contrast to our own time." -- Jon Meacham , Pulitzer Prize-winning presidential historian "At a time of tremendous political division, Calvin Coolidge teaches us what humility and unity look like." -- Cal Thomas , syndicated columnist "Calvin Coolidge may have been the last president who understood and revered the Founders vision of self-government. In this spare and eloquent chronicle of his life, President Coolidge demonstrates his devotion and allegiance to those founding principles." -- Janice Rogers Brown , judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (retired) Details ISBN1610171632 Author Matthew Denhart Short Title The Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge Pages 240 Language English Year 2021 ISBN-10 1610171632 ISBN-13 9781610171632 Format Paperback Subtitle Expanded and Annotated Edition Imprint ISI Books Place of Publication Wilmington Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2021-01-11 NZ Release Date 2021-01-11 UK Release Date 2021-01-11 Edition Description Expanded and Annotated Edition Publication Date 2021-01-30 Edited by Matthew Denhart DEWEY B Audience Professional & Vocational US Release Date 2021-01-30 Publisher Regnery Publishing Inc We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
