{"product_id":"book-2902","title":"An Honest President","description":" \u003cp\u003eToday, Grover Cleveland is chiefly known as the only president to have been elected to two nonconsecutive terms. But in his day, Cleveland was a renowned reformer: an enemy of political machines who joined forces with Theodore Roosevelt to fight powerful party bosses, a moralist who vetoed bills he considered blatant raids on the Treasury, and a vigorous defender of the Monroe Doctrine who resisted American imperialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCleveland's career in office was plagued by scandal and a gossip-mongering press. During his first presidential bid, he was persecuted for fathering a child out of wedlock, a charge to which Cleveland readily admitted. At the age of forty-nine, he married his twenty-one-year-old ward, and after the nation's initial surprise, she became the most popular first lady of her day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn his deathbed, Cleveland would sum up his career simply: \"I have tried so hard to do right.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn graceful and enduring prose, H. Paul Jeffers gives us the first full look at a president whose moral timber and courageous administrations have more to say to today's politicians than perhaps that of any other leader in American history.\u003cspan rel=\"pastemarkerend\" id=\"pastemarkerend97432\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49314859155760,"sku":"BD2902","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49314859188528,"sku":"ZE2902","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49314859254064,"sku":"ZM2902","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/2902-Square-cover.jpg?v=1775553925","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-2902","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
