Short, somewhat boring but to the point account of the 1880 election. Not sure I buy the argument that Garfield was the last hope for a better reconstruction. Yes, he was more committed than Hayes but the South was too far gone in the other direction and the Republican party not strong enough anyway. If you had wondered like I did how a Union General became the southern leaning Democratic Party’s nominee 15 years after the end of the civil war then this book will clear that up – Hancock had pandered to southern whites while military governor of Louisiana.
I hope Audible gets more books from the University of Kansas election series because the physical and kindle versions are overpriced.
The narration is fine.
