<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In this wise and compelling biography, Dean--no stranger to controversy himself--recovers the truths and explodes the myths surrounding the 29th president's tarnished legacy.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>President Nixon's former counsel illuminates another presidency marked by scandal</b> <p/>Warren G. Harding may be best known as America's worst president. Scandals plagued him: the Teapot Dome affair, corruption in the Veterans Bureau and the Justice Department, and the posthumous revelation of an extramarital affair. <p/>Raised in Marion, Ohio, Harding took hold of the small town's newspaper and turned it into a success. Showing a talent for local politics, he rose quickly to the U.S. Senate. His presidential campaign slogan, America's present need is not heroics but healing, not nostrums but normalcy, gave voice to a public exhausted by the intense politics following World War I. Once elected, he pushed for legislation limiting the number of immigrants; set high tariffs to relieve the farm crisis after the war; persuaded Congress to adopt unified federal budget creation; and reduced income taxes and the national debt, before dying unexpectedly in 1923. <p/>In this wise and compelling biography, John W. Dean--no stranger to controversy himself--recovers the truths and explodes the myths surrounding our twenty-ninth president's tarnished legacy.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>John W.
