Non-Fiction History
Among nineteenth-century Americans, few commanded the
reverence and respect accorded to Henry Clay of Kentucky. As
orator and as Speaker of the House for longer than any man
in the century, he wielded great power, a compelling
presence in Congress who helped preserve the Union in the
antebellum period. Remini portrays both the statesman and
the private man, a man whose family life was painfully torn
and who burned with ambition for the office he could not
reach, the presidency.
