Gerald R. Ford by Douglas Brinkley
A concise biography that traces the unlikely rise of America’s 38th president from modest Midwestern roots, collegiate athletics and wartime service to a long congressional career and an accidental presidency after a national crisis; it emphasizes his plainspoken decency, bipartisan instincts and efforts to heal the country after Watergate, examines the political costs and moral reasoning behind his controversial pardon of his predecessor, and assesses his restrained leadership amid economic malaise and foreign-policy challenges while portraying his later reputation as an honorable, stabilizing figure in American politics.
