Coolidge by Amity Shlaes

4.0

I picked up Amity Shlaes' Coolidge because I've long been intrigued by the anecdotes I've encountered about "Silent Cal" and wanted to learn more about our 30th president. Shlaes' work is extremely well researched and provides the reader with a narrative that is equally interesting and readable for the historian and more causal reader. My only critique would be that I often wished that the author more frequently offered her own insight instead of merely presenting every potential and leaving the reader to decide.
