Zusammenfassung:"In the 1924 presidential election, the two major parties did something that would be unthinkable today: They both nominated staunch conservative candidates. Leading the Republican ticket was Calvin Coolidge, who had ascended to the presidency a year earlier, on the death of Warren Harding. The Democrats chose John W. Davis as their standard bearer. Little remembered today, Davis was a brilliant lawyer who had served as congressman, solicitor general of the United States, and ambassador to Great Britain. 1924 provides a fascinating look at this pivotal but largely forgotten election. Garland S. Tucker III's page-turning history reveals how both Coolidge and Davis articulated a philosophy of limited government and individual freedom."--Dust jacket
