Historians have labeled him the \"Worst President Ever,\" \"Dead Last,\" \"Unfit,\" and \"Incompetent,\" to name but a few. Many contemporaries were equally cruel. H. L. Mencken called him a \"nitwit.\" To Alice Roosevelt Longworth, he was a \"slob.\" Such is the current reputation of our 29th President, Warren Gamaliel Harding. In an interesting survey in 1982, which divided the scholarly respondents into \"conservative\" and \"liberal\" categories, \u003ci\u003eboth\u003c\/i\u003e groups picked Harding as the worst President.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But historian Ryan Walters shows that Harding, a humble man from Marion, Ohio, has been unfairly remembered. He quickly fixed an economy in depression and started the boom of the Roaring Twenties, healed a nation in the throes of social disruption, and reversed America’s interventionist foreign policy.","brand":"Regnery History","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42974673993983,"sku":"9781621578840","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_fdfabf62-d95e-4fa0-8182-045f0c2780ad.jpg?v=1766328584","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781621578840","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
