5.0 out of 5 stars The Life of William McKinley, April 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: William McKinley: Twenty-Fifth President of the United States (Encyclopedia of Presidents) (Library Binding)

Zachary Kent has done a great job recording McKinley's life in this book. The style is simple and easy to read, and there are many black-and-white photographs and drawings to supplement the story. Besides giving many key dates in the text, there is a superb timeline in the back of the book which briefly covers all of America's history and highlights the major events which occurred in McKinley's lifetime. McKinley's presidency is only reviewed at a glance by today's students, but he was an immensely popular President in his day. His regard for the opinion of the public, his persistence and determination in climbing the political ladder of success, and his desire for peace were all hallmarks of his presidency. His sense of duty to his nation and loving care for his wife were character traits of his that this book conveys to the reader. I highly recommend it.
