John Tyler #2 - Professor Christopher Leahy

In what the Wall Street Journal calls the “most comprehensive [John] Tyler biography in 80 years,” Dr. Leahy’s book, President Without a Party: The Life of John Tyler, profiles a leader that historians have long viewed as one of the nation’s least effective heads of state. It’s the first full¬-scale biography of Tyler in more than 50 years, and the first new academic study of him in eight decades.
