1 comments about Nixon (Reputations Series).
- This cool, thoughtful book by a Welsh academic is an excellent, concise life of Richard Nixon -- one of the pivotal figures in modern American history. Morgan ranges through the whole of Nixon's career and always retains balance and good sense. Not for reflexive Nixon-haters nor for reflexive Nixon-worshipers -- this book is a remarkable feat of concise and thoughtful narrative and interpretation. It should be read alongside Elizabeth Drew's equally valuable study in Holt's AMERICAN PRESIDENCY series.

1 comments about William Howard Taft: The President who became Chief Justice.
- This biography of Taft was written for advanced junior high or beginning high school students, but it's the best I've been able to find. It's a reasonable summary of Taft's extensive career in government, although the simple writing level does get old, and it brushes over a lot of the more advanced issues, like his controversy with Roosevelt and his philosophy and impact as a Chief Justice.
The book has 214 pages and is fairly large print.
As a children's book, it's probably quite good, but I evaluated it from an adult perspective.
If you're interested in his chief justiceship only, the book to look at is by Alpheus Thomas Mason.
