商品簡介
Chester A. Arthur's book delves into the life and legacy of the 21st President of the United States. From his humble beginnings in Fairfield, Vermont, to assuming the highest office in the land after the tragic assassination of President James A. Garfield, Arthur's journey is one of political intrigue and unexpected twists.
As a Republican lawyer from New York, Arthur's rise to prominence was swift, buoyed by his dedication to public service and his allegiance to influential figures like Senator Roscoe Conkling. Yet, it was his unexpected presidency that truly defined his legacy. Despite initial doubts and criticisms, Arthur's tenure witnessed pivotal moments in American history, from the revitalization of the U.S. Navy to his enforcement of immigration restrictions and tariff reforms.
