Amity Shlaes is a historian and author of one of my particular favorite histories called "The Forgotten Man." If you read it you'll never again go along with Democrat mythology that FDR was a great president, at least not for any reason other than if you like the way he handled World War II. Today we're going to discuss a later book of hers, one which I should have read years ago but which is still well worth your time, about one of the few great American presidents of the past century: Calvin Coolidge. Amity is also chair of the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Foundation.
