Past as a Puzzle
P
In "My Search for Warren Harding" by Robert Plunkett, the author sets out to uncover the truth about the often-derided 29th President of the United States. Plunkett begins by recounting Harding's life and political career, from his humble beginnings in Ohio to his rise to the presidency in 1921. Along the way, Plunkett examines Harding's policies and the scandals that plagued his administration. Despite the controversies, Plunkett argues that Harding was a well-intentioned president who faced many challenges during his time in office. Ultimately, Plunkett concludes that Harding's legacy deserves a more nuanced appraisal than the one he has received over the years.
