Title: An outstanding book by a first-rate historian of America
Product review: Professor Jean H. Baker has the uncanny ability to write both clearly and complexly, illuminating the facts of this president's life with a careful interpretative eye and a thrilling sense of the politics of regionalism and race that beset so many of President Buchanan's decisions.I must say that among American historians, Professor Baker is one of the very best: consistently deep and probing in her analysis and archival documentation yet a fluid storyteller with elegant, neat prose.(...Of course I'm over the age of 13. Don't 12 years have something to say too?)
