"A revealing and important book."--James M. Cannon, author of Time
and Chance: Gerald Ford's Appointment with History"Should remain
the standard work for some time to come. Greene's close, judicious

stereotype to plumb Ford's accomplishments and failures, his sound
judgments and miscalculations. A rich portrait of an important
period."--Louis Fisher, coeditor of the Encyclopedia of the
American Presidency"An incisively critical account of an important
period in twentieth century American history."--Bernard J.
Firestone, coeditor of Gerald R. Ford and the Politics of
Post-Watergate America

public problems."--Washington Post Book World"Greene has afforded
us a solid foundation on which to develop a thorough understanding
of the Ford presidency."--Michigan Historical Review"This is a
balanced study of a troubled time and a welcome addition to the
growing field of presidential history."--Illinois Historical
Journal"Greene has written a fair and thoughtful study of the Ford
administration."--Reviews in American History"Greene provides a
useful, accessible insight into the major issues of the time,
notable foreign policy, including the fall of Saigon, the tragedy
of Cambodia, the 'Mayaquez' incident and Ford's attempts to pursue
the Nixon legacy of detente."--American Politics Review"Green's
serious treatment of a presidency that still has its problems being
taken seriously . . . is an indispensable guide and goad to further
research."--H-Net Reviews"The book lays out the major events of the
Ford administration honestly and concisely."--Journal of American
History"A fine book."--American Historical Review
