Roy Morris, Jr., is the author of The Better Angel: Walt Whitman in the Civil War, as well as biographies of Ambrose Bierce and General Phil Sheridan. A former political correspondent, he lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Jeff Greenfield Enough drama, melodrama, farce, and tragedy to
power a dozen novels....A compelling tale for anyone even remotely
interested in American political history.
Jay Winik A rip-roaring book, filled with high-stakes chicanery,
low-down politics, rampant partisanship, riveting personal
struggles, and lingering sectional animosities. If you thought Bush
v. Gore was contentious -- read this.
The Wall Street Journal Bravely nonconformist and greatly
entertaining.
Associated Press The similarities of the 1876 presidential
election...to Bush vs. Gore in 2000 are extraordinary....Morris, a
skilled political reporter and historian, offers a vivid backstage
look into a stolen election.
