{"product_id":"2940169916706","title":"An Honest President: The Life and Presidencies of Grover Cleveland","description":"\u003cp\u003eToday, Grover Cleveland is chiefly known as the only president to have been elected to two nonconsecutive terms. But in his day, Cleveland was a renowned reformer: an enemy of political machines who joined forces with Theodore Roosevelt to fight powerful party bosses, a moralist who vetoed bills he considered blatant raids on the Treasury, and a vigorous defender of the Monroe Doctrine who resisted American imperialism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCleveland¿s career in office was plagued by scandal and a gossip-mongering press. During his first presidential bid, he was persecuted for fathering a child out of wedlock, a charge to which Cleveland readily admitted. At the age of forty-nine, he married his twenty-one-year-old ward, and after the nation¿s initial surprise, she became the most popular first lady of her day.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn his deathbed, Cleveland would sum up his career simply: ¿I have tried so hard to do right.¿\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn graceful and enduring prose, H. Paul Jeffers gives us the first full look at a president whose moral timber and courageous administrations have more to say to today¿s politicians than perhaps that of any other leader in American history.\u003cspan rel=\"pastemarkerend\" id=\"pastemarkerend97432\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Audio, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47114858037488,"sku":"2940169916706","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169916706_p0.jpg?v=1769902854","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169916706","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
