Reviews
"Had Grover Cleveland not existed, it would be impossible to invent him. Troy Senik has thus not invented the stolid Mr. Cleveland, but he has here provided a masterful explanation of both a president and a man complex in his stubborn simplicity." -David Pietrusza, historian and author of 1920: The Year of Six Presidents "Many of us were first introduced to this book's subject when historian Arthur Schlesinger called Jimmy Carter the most conservative Democratic president since Grover Cleveland. It was not a compliment. But it reflected a hard fact: Cleveland is not honored in the collective memory of his own party, and is dismissed by the mavens of presidential political history. Troy Senik's splendid and deeply researched book should change that. Readers will come away with admiration for Cleveland's ample possession of the very qualities that our current leaders so often lack: character, integrity, and determination to do the right thing for the country, even when it affected his popularity. He was not perfect, but was a much greater leader than has been commonly understood. This book sets things straight." -Wilfred McClay, professor of history at Hillsdale College and bestselling author of Land of Hope, "Senik delivers an entertaining and astute assessment of [Cleveland's] executive actions that explains why historians regularly rate Cleveland highly among U.S. presidents." - Booklist

Synopsis
Grover Cleveland was precisely the kind of self-made, scrupulously honest man that Americans often say they want as their president. We had him for eight years. And, somehow, we forgot him. In over 230 years of the American presidency there's never been another figure quite like him: thoroughly unimpressed by the pretensions of politics, unwilling to jettison his core beliefs even when expediency or prudence may have counseled otherwise, unmoved by hate or scorn as long as he believed he was keeping faith with his principles. His was one of the most improbable journeys in American political history. From the Introduction Book jacket., "A thoroughly engaging and enjoyable" ( National Review ) biography of Grover Cleveland--the honest, principled, and plain-spoken president whose country has largely overlooked him. "Entertaining and astute" ( Booklist ), A Man of Iron explores the remarkable life and extraordinary career of Grover Cleveland--one of America's most unusual presidents and the only one to serve two non-consecutive terms. Grover Cleveland's political career--a dizzying journey that saw him rise from obscure lawyer to president of the United States in just three years--was marked by contradictions. A politician of uncharacteristic honesty and principle, he was nevertheless dogged by secrets from his personal life. A believer in limited government, he pushed presidential power to its limits to combat a crippling depression, suppress labor unrest, and resist the forces of American imperialism. A headstrong executive who alienated Congress, political bosses, and even his own party, his stubbornness nevertheless became the key to his political appeal. The most successful Democratic politician of his era, he came to be remembered most fondly by Republicans. "With prodigious research, rich detail...and lively prose" ( The Free Lance-Star , Virginia), A Man of Iron is a compelling and vivid biography joining the ranks of presidential classics such as David McCullough's John Adams , Ron Chernow's Grant , and Amity Shlaes's Coolidge .
