"A welcome study of an unusual American president." -- Journal of
American History
"Adds a great deal to our understanding of Ford's priorities and
guiding philosophy for the nation's domestic and international
policies. Mieczkowski shows within a broad historical context how
Ford dealt with the challenges the country faced during the
mid-1970s." -- Michigan Historical Review
"By a masterful analysis, Mieczkowski shows how Ford restored
credibility to government and promoted amicable relations with
Congres." -- Richard Lowitt, University of Oklahoma
"In this impressive book, he argues that Ford's tenure as president
deserves more consideration and even praise than it has often
received. After reading it, one is hard pressed to disagree with
the author's conclusion." -- H-Net Reviews
"One of the best presidential biographies I have read. It explains
the rise of the Republican Party as a ruling majority today. It is
fast paced and extremely well written. It is a worthy assessment of
Mr. Ford's presidency." -- (Lanett, AL) Valley Times-News
"The reader come away from reading this fine and impeccably
researched book with a new appreciation for Gerald Ford as a
sophisticated thinker and a person with a consistent vision for the
nation's domestic and international policy.... Succeeds admirably
as a political biography." -- Business History Review
"This ambitious work calls for a reexamination of the Ford
presidency in light of the formidable challenges he faced upon
taking office. A welcome and important addition to the literature
on the Ford presidency." -- Library Journal
