Making my way through Troy Senik’s new bio of Grover Cleveland, A Man of Iron, and enjoying it so far. More of a survey course than an in depth reading of his life, but I’m not sure there’s enough here for more than Senik devotes, which is plenty. A fine overview of what by most all accounts seems to be an extremely decent man in an extremely indecent era.
This will likely be the end of my bio jag, and of the three I’ve read in succession I would probably place Senik’s third behind Berg’s Lindbergh and Chernow’s Titan, which might be the best character study of a single person I’ve ever read.
