      Definitive biography of Buchanan, though Klein is clearly favorably 
disposed to the president he calls a "peacemaker who fails. " Particularly 
good in showing Buchanan's mastery of Pennsylvania politics as well as his 
mistaken responses to issues like the LeCompton Constitution, the homestead 
bill, and secession. Good bibliography. COHEN, p 71. Bound in 
mustard-colored cloth over boards with spine and upper board stamped in 
blue. Shallow bump at bottom edge of lower board. Jacket has a few shallow 
edge wrinkles and some minor surface wear....... $75.00
