Synopsis de l’éditeur
"Intimate, revealing -- and sometimes downright embarrassing -- the newly revealed love letters at the heart of "The Harding Affair "provide an altogether fresh look at a future American President hopelessly in love with a woman not his wife."--Geoffrey C. Ward, author of "A First-Class Temperament "and "The War: An Intimate History, 1941-1945" "A crackling history by Greater Cleveland lawyer James David Robenalt gives Ohioans a peek, five years early, at court-sealed love letters that Warren G. Harding, the last Ohioan elected president, sent to his long-time mistress, Marion neighbor Carrie Phillips. Considering that they deal with a presidency that ended 86 years ago, that's saying a lot... Hard to put down."-"Cleveland Plain Dealer"<p>"Warren Harding has always been ranked as one of the worst U.S. presidents. But [this] book might just boost his image. Readers will see a tender, human side of Harding and also learn about his opposition to President Woodrow Wilson's nation-building efforts abroad after World War I -- an issue that still resonates. If he had assumed the presidency in 1917 instead of 1921... [it may have] led to an outcome that would have drastically changed the course of the 20th century." -"The Columbus Dispatch" Lire la suite...
