Is Shales’ book unbiased? Good? Thanks...
Like all of her books its a bit of a tedious read but lots of good insights on the era in general and Collidge’s rise and evolving philosophy in particular. It’s a nice escape to another time and iconfirmation that many events tend to repeat themselves.

So far (still not halfway through the book) it appears she writes admiringly about Coolidge but is not outwardly defensive. Coolidge comes across as a very ambitious politican, but its hard to tell (at this point) whether that stems primarily from dedication to public service or personal quest for success. I’m mainly trying to get an understanding of how his economic views were formed.
