A politician of uncharacteristic honesty and principle, he was nevertheless dogged by secrets from his personal life. A believer in limited government, he pushed presidential power to its limits to combat a crippling depression, suppress labor unrest, and resist the forces of American imperialism. A headstrong executive who alienated Congress, political bosses, and even his own party, his stubbornness nevertheless became the key to his political appeal. The most successful Democratic politician of his era, he came to be remembered most fondly by Republicans.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“With prodigious research, rich detail…and lively prose” (\u003ci\u003eThe Free Lance-Star\u003c\/i\u003e, Virginia), \u003ci\u003eA Man of Iron\u003c\/i\u003e is a compelling and vivid biography joining the ranks of presidential classics such as David McCullough’s \u003ci\u003eJohn Adams\u003c\/i\u003e, Ron Chernow’s \u003ci\u003eGrant\u003c\/i\u003e, and Amity Shlaes’s \u003ci\u003eCoolidge\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49346705359152,"sku":"BDfq4m","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49346705457456,"sku":"10fq4m","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/fq4m-Square-cover.jpg?v=1773697414","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-fq4m","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
