Praise for H. Paul Jeffers
Diamond Jim Brady: Prince of the Gilded Age
‘One of the most entertaining historical business narratives in
recent memory. The story of this symbol of America’s Gilded Age is
filled with such gusto and vigor that even hardcore business
readers will be swept away.’
-Publishers Weekly
‘Superb historical biography of one of the more colorful characters
in American history . . . spirited. . . . Jeffers deftly weaves
together intriguing stage-setting explanations of the age of robber
barons, the crash of 1893, and that unforgettable era of unbridled
wealth for the few in 1890s New York. As this marvelous story
reveals, Brady’s lavish lifestyle embodies America’s Gilded Age.
Highly recommended for all libraries.’
-Library Journal
An Honest President: The Life and Presidencies of Grover
Cleveland
‘A well-written and timely book that reminds us of Grover
Cleveland’s courage, commitment, and honesty at a time when these
qualities are so lacking in so much of American politics.’
-James Mac Gregor Burns, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National
Book Award
Colonel Roosevelt: Theodore Roosevelt Goes to War, 1897–1898
‘A handsome narrative of a crucial period in the career of one of
our country’s most colorful politicians.’
-Publishers Weekly
