Non-Fiction Biography
Gerald Ford came to the presidency at the time of one of our
nation's greatest constitutional crises, the downfall of
President Richard M. Nixon in the aftermath of the Watergate
affair. His service as president concluded a distinguished
career in the House of Representatives during which he
served as leader of the Republican Party in the House. With
unrestricted access to Gerald Ford's papers, James M. Cannon
tells the story of Ford's rise and Nixon's ruin, providing
new insights into this troubling period of our history and
Ford's role in guiding the nation through it. Cannon tells
the story of Ford's difficult early life and the beginnings
of his career in politics in the period immediately after
World War II. He tells the story of Ford's rise to
prominence in the House of Representatives during the 1950s
and 1960s, giving us a fascinating picture of the Congress.
In addition, in telling us about the personal life of Gerald
Ford, he gives us a sense of the price Ford paid for his
success.
