As a man, Benjamin Harrison was quite interesting - intelligent, hard working. His presidency is largely forgotten, though. Of the three volumes, the first is the most compelling - Harrison's civil war service. But all three books are deeply researched and well written. This volume covers his presidential years, with one chapter afterward. There are a few flaws. For example, Sievers says something like "Harrison was interested in Hawaii" but up to the Hawaiian putsch Hawaii was never discussed. This happened more than once but does not detract greatly from the book. Includes notes, index, bibliography, and photos/illustrations.
