Reviews for The Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge
19 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5If you want to get to know Calvin Coolidge, thirtieth president of the United States, you cannot start in a better place than with this autobiography. The reader gets a strong sense of who Coolidge was. There is some very personal and touching passages on the death of his son Calvin (as well as his father) while he was president. However, not a lot on specific policies or issues.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5In the classic "Silent Cal" vein, his autobiography is concise, easily read yet speaks volumes.Never one to pass up a chance to teach, his childhood is explained with the vividness of a travel brochure and fondness of a family man. His political career, local, state and national portray a man who respects offices by not diminishing those who occupied them.President Calvin Coolidge explains the duties of a president well while stressing how difficult it is to convey the burden and solemnity of the highest office in the land.
