Sinopse

In this book, Roxanne Robinson offered a careful and engaging narrative of how Gerald Ford became the 38th President of the United States of America during one of the most turbulent times in the American history.
 
Through the pages of this book, you will uncover how Watergate Scandal forced Richard Nixon out of office and how Gerald Ford's decision and eventual pardon to Nixon affected public perception of government even unto this present day.
 
By reading this book, you will discover:

	How a man devoid of presidential aspirations turned into the leader of a country facing crisis. From his Michigan roots to his years in Congress to his surprising appointment as vice president following Spiro Agnew's resignation.
	The Impact of Watergate: The book offers a thorough examination of the Watergate scandal and its terrible consequences for the Nixon government. It shows how Ford's relationship with Nixon changed as the scandal deepens and how he finally brought stability to the turbulent state of the nation. 
	Controversy Regarding the Pardon: Great detqail is examined on one of Ford's most divisive choices: Richard Nixon's pardon. You will certainly judge for yourself; Ford’s reasoning that led to the pardon and it's aftermath effect on his presidency. The book uncovers the long-term impact of the pardon on his presidency and American politics. 
	Rebuilding Trust in Government: the author also highlights Ford’s efforts to restore faith in the executive arm of government after the corruption and scandals of the Nixon years. Through his transparency and commitment to democratic principles, Ford sought to heal a divided nation, but not without challenges. 
	Ford’s Leadership Style: The book paints a vivid picture of Ford’s calm, pragmatic leadership during a time of immense uncertainty. Unlike Nixon’s secretive and paranoid approach, Ford’s presidency was defined by openness, honesty, and a strong belief in the rule of law. 
	The 1976 Election and Ford’s Legacy: The final chapters examine Ford’s fight for election in 1976, his narrow loss to Jimmy Carter, and how history has judged his presidency. Despite his short time in office, this book makes a compelling case for Ford as a figure of integrity whose steady hand helped guide the country through one of its darkest moments. 

Through these key points, the Unexpected Leader offers readers a deep understanding of Gerald Ford’s role in shaping modern American history. It sheds light on the personal and political complexities of Ford’s presidency, showing how an unexpected leader can rise to meet the demands of a crisis with quiet determination and moral clarity. This is a must-read for anyone interested in American politics, presidential history, or the legacy of leadership in times of crisis.

    My First Thirty Years - A Memoir

    Gertrude Beasley, Marie Bennett,...

    Shortly after its 1925 publication, Gertrude Beasley's ferociously eloquent feminist memoir was banned and she herself disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Though British Nobel Prize winner Bertrand Russell called My First Thirty Years "truthful, which is illegal" and Larry McMurtry pronounced it the finest Texas book of its era, Beasley's words have been all but inaccessible for almost a century—until now. 
     
    Beasley penned one of the most brutally honest coming-of-age historical memoirs, one which strips away romantic notions about frontier women's lives at the turn of the twentieth century. With characteristic ferocity, Beasley rejected a life of dependence, persisting in her studies and becoming first a teacher, then a principal, then a college instructor, and finally a foreign correspondent. 
     
    Along the way, Beasley becomes a strident activist for women's rights, socialism, and sex education. She is undaunted by authority figures but secretly ashamed of her origins and yearns to be loved. My First Thirty Years is profoundly human and shockingly candid, a rallying cry that cost its author her career and her freedom. 
     
    Her story deserves to be heard. 
     
    Contains mature themes.
