Comments on activities as U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, the political scene in Washington, D.C., his father-in-law President Wilson, his private law practice, and his political career as candidate for U.S. President and as U.S. Senator from California.
"The notable career of William Gibbs McAdoo (1863-1941) has long awaited the definitive study this volume presents. A perennial candidate for the Democratic nomination for president between 1920 and 1932, neither his autobiography, Crowded Years, nor the many references to his life and actions by historians of the United States in the twentieth century have yet demonstrated so convincingly that McAdoo ranks as one of the most capable and energetic business leaders and cabinet officers in the entire course of American history. More than a study of McAdoo's life and character, the book is a reinterpretation of Wilsonian reform in which McAdoo played a major role... Brilliantly conceived, based on exhaustive research, presented with clarity and precision, and supplemented by a lengthy bibliography, William Gibbs McAdoo: A Passion for Change, 1863-1917 will surely take its place among the definitive studies of the Wilsonian era in American history." --Page [2-3] of cover.
