Robert Merry, “President McKinley: Architect of the American Century”

Presented by the ‘Buzz’ Westfall Favorite Author Series

In this great American story, acclaimed historian Robert Merry resurrects the presidential reputation of William McKinley, which loses out to the brilliant and flamboyant Theodore Roosevelt who succeeded him after his assassination. He portrays McKinley as a chief executive of consequence whose low place in the presidential rankings does not reflect his enduring accomplishments and the stamp he put on the country’s future role in the world. Lively, definitive, and eye-opening, “President McKinley” resurrects this overlooked president and places him squarely on the list of one of the most important.
