XX [from the dust jacket] The name of Harry Daugherty is inextricably linked with the corruption of the Harding Administration. His term as Attorney General of the United States marked both the zenith and the nadir of his career and has ever since defined his role in history. This first full-fledged political biography of the Ohio political figure who rose so high and fell so far offers a more complete portrait of the man and his times. A quarter century of active political life preceded Daugherty's association with Harding, and an understanding of these roots can do much to explain his gaudy role in the Harding-Coolidge years. Daugherty lived during one of the most tumultuous eras in American politics, the heyday of John Sherman, Joseph Foraker; and Marcus Hanna, who made Ohio Republican politics synonymous with national political power. Daugherty himself never achieved elective office in the twentieth century, making his, mark primarily as a party organizer, manager, and state factional leader. In doing so, his principal goals became party loyalty and personal advancement, and he regarded his appointment as Attorney General as a just reward for his years of service to the Republican Party. It is on the basis of his Attorney Generalship that history has judged him. Both his fitness for the office and his performance in it came under heavy criticism, and after his resignation in 1924, Daugherty spent the rest of his life trying to vindicate himself. His efforts to do so were instrumental in creating much of the mythology that has surrounded the tragedy of the Harding Presidency. Giglio's book is a valuable source of information on both Daugherty and his times, providing insight into the circumstances that shaped Daugherty's character, as well as the doleful consequences that followed his rise to power. XX JAMES N. GIGLIO is Associate Professor of History at Southwest Missouri State University. A native of Ohio, he received his B.A. and M.A. from Kent State University and his doctorate from Ohio State University. Dr. Giglio has published numerous articles and reviews on Ohio politics during the Daugherty years. N° de réf. du vendeur 002354
