The 30th President of the United States, Calvin Coolidge began his political career in Massachusetts state politics. His response to the Boston Police Strike of 1919 thrust him into the national spotlight and gave him a reputation as a man of decisive action. Soon after, he was elected as the 29th Vice President in 1920, and succeeded to the presidency upon the sudden death of Warren G. Harding in 1923. Here, American biographer Cameron Rogers offers and brief and intimate biography that throws new light on Coolidge's later career and contributes a real and living story of one of the most inscrutable occupants of the White House.
