Michael Edward Donovan

The United States in the Time of Warren G. Harding Michael Edward Donovan

This is the story of the greatest of them all: Warren G. Harding. All right, maybe Harding wasn't the greatest, but maybe he had a few good qualities. Mike Donovan tells the story in a fair-minded fashion. The USA rejected the League of Nations in Harding's time. History has condemned the Republicans for this, but is there more to this story than you know? Mike offers some interesting arguments on that one. Most of the book is basic information, and there is a bit of a focus on foreign affairs. Read about the Teapot Dome, the Washington Naval Treaties, the first woman in the Senate and the always exciting Fordney-McCumber Tariff.
