Brinkley's account of the underappreciated Presidency and life of Gerald R. Ford was a fast and informative account of our 38th President.Though a biographer of Jimmy Carter, Brinkley gives Ford his due credit, but also manages to draw attention to Ford's mistakes, such as jettisoning Rockefeller from the Vice Presidency.Brinkley's 2003 interviews with Ford also provide rich background to a book that one can easily read in a single day.Since his death, the public adoration for Ford has been deafening.This biography hit the shelves only 6 weeks after his death, which is included in thebook.As a public school Social Studies teacher, I would highly recommend this book!
