Reviews
"A splendid biography. Scott Kaufman has mined the archives to capture Gerald Ford's life, providing fresh insights and cogent analysis. Readers will relish the book's details and powerful narrative drive. This work is crucial to understanding Ford's rise to power and political career."- Yanek Mieczkowski , author of Gerald Ford and the Challenges of the 1970s "This is the best biography of President Gerald Ford. It offers a compelling account of his life, his guiding philosophy, and his many contributions. This book is also a persuasive history of American society in the twentieth century, and the possibilities for integrity and cooperation in politics during that period. Every citizen who cares about politics will benefit from reading this biography."- Jeremi Suri , author of The Impossible Presidency: The Rise and Fall of America's Highest Office At last we have the biography Gerald Ford deserves. Scott Kaufman offers a judicious portrait of the former president's personal life and political career, as well as a richly textured tour of the turbulent decades following the Second World War and the political landscape that shaped Ford's unlikely rise to power. This important and engagingly written study reminds us of the importance of a politician whose strength--an instinct for moderation--was also his greatest weakness.- Barbara Keys , author of Reclaiming American Virtue: The Human Rights Revolution of the 1970s "No one understands the American political scene of the 1970s--that swirling, chaotic, dispiriting and transformational decade that continues to befuddle and fascinate historians--like Scott Kaufman. His beautifully written biography of Gerald Ford sheds new light on a man who was much more than an accidental president. Sailor, athlete, prosecutor, politician, and ultimately unlikely commander-in-chief, Ford's story is one of the entire American century, and Kaufman tells it brilliantly."- Jeffrey A.

Engel , Director, Center for Presidential History, Southern Methodist University, "Kaufman's sure-handed, comprehensive political biography illuminates the epochal shifts in politics that shaped Ford's career."-- Michigan Historical Review "A balanced account that digs deeply into the sources and does not hesitate to explore some of the less laudatory episodes of [Ford''s] life. Kaufman's book more than rewards the reader seeking to understand such vital topics as how Congress functioned in the mid-twentieth century, how Ford coped with the many dilemmas he faced in his presidency, and much else besides."-- American Historical Review, "Kaufman's historical contribution lies in his depiction and analysis of Ford's twenty-five-year congressional career as well as Ford's youthful preparation for politics and his postpresidential activities."-- Journal of American History "Kaufman's work is the essential starting place for scholars seeking to understand Ford's political career. Perhaps it is also a starting place for historians seeking to understand the loss of bipartisanship and pragmatism in contemporary politics."-- Journal of Southern History "Kaufman's sure-handed, comprehensive political biography illuminates the epochal shifts in politics that shaped Ford's career."-- Michigan Historical Review "A balanced account that digs deeply into the sources and does not hesitate to explore some of the less laudatory episodes of [Ford&rsquo's] life.
