Title: A fresh perspective on a forgotten President
Review: Phillips presents McKinley: A strong personality, ambitious - yet underrated and often overlooked. This book focuses on the cultural and political world in which McKinley rose to prominence and won the presidency. In doing so, Phillips makes a compelling argument that McKinley has not been given a fair evaluation by historians.If the late 1800's and early 1900's is a period of history less familiar to you, then this book will leave you wanting. I think this book assumes some familiarity with the period and is designed to enhance your knowledge and understanding of the important figures of that fascinating time.Overall, I felt the purchase was well worth the money and the time spent reading the book - both of which are relatively small.
