As ambassador to both Czarist Russia and Great Britain, and as U.S. Secretary of State, Buchanan negotiated some of the most important treaties of his time, including the first trade agreement between the U.S. and Russia. He even tried to reconcile the Northern and Southern states (his Presidency was completely dominated by the growing fury between North and South). This book is universally regarded as the definitive biography of our 15th President. Well-written and historical. A beautiful book in full leather and gilt designs and lettering.
