{"product_id":"president-garfield-from-radical-to-unifier","title":"President Garfield: From Radical to Unifier","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn “ambitious, thorough, supremely researched” ( The Washington Post ) biography of the extraordinary, tragic life of America’s twentieth president—James Garfield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn “the most comprehensive Garfield biography in almost fifty years” ( The Wall Street Journal ), C.W. Goodyear charts the life and times of one of the most remarkable Americans ever to win the Presidency. Progressive firebrand and conservative compromiser; Union war hero and founder of the first Department of Education; Supreme Court attorney and abolitionist preacher; mathematician and canalman; crooked election-fixed and clean-government champion; Congressional chieftain and gentleman-farmer; the last president to be born in a log cabin; the second to be assassinated. James Abram Garfield was all these things and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOver nearly two decades in Congress during a polarized era—Reconstruction and the Gilded Age—Garfield served as a peacemaker in a Republican Party and America defined by divisions. He was elected to overcome them. He was killed while trying to do so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePresident Garfield is American history at its finest. It is about an impoverished boy working his way from the frontier to the Presidency; a progressive statesman, trying to raise a more righteous, peaceful Republic out of the ashes of civil war; the tragically imperfect course of that reformation, and the man himself; a martyr-President, whose death succeeded in nudging the country back to cleaner, calmer politics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT-BOOK","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":54008679694704,"sku":"978-1982146924","price":8.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":54008679727472,"sku":"978-1982146924","price":20.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":54008679760240,"sku":"978-1982146924","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/8543\/8576\/files\/ebook_4499_686e65e900.jpg?v=1783580237","url":"https:\/\/antbook.store\/de\/products\/president-garfield-from-radical-to-unifier","provider":"ANTBOOK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
