"Not since Harry Truman succeeded Franklin D. Roosevelt twenty-nine years earlier had the American people known so little about a man who had stepped forward from obscurity to take the oath of office as President of the United States."
--from Chapter 4

"Gerald R. Ford: An Honorable Life" is a comprehensive narrative account of the life of Gerald Ford authored by one of his closest advisers, James Cannon. Written with unique insight and benefiting from personal interviews with President Ford in his last years, "Gerald R. Ford: An Honorable Life" provides the most complete examination of the life, the presidency, and the legacy of President Ford and is James Cannon's final look at the simple and honest man from the Midwest.

Industry Reviews
