Sinopse
Discover the remarkable life of Gerald Ford...
Gerald Ford is notable for being the only individual to have served as both US vice president and president without being elected to either office. He came into the vice presidency following the resignation of Spiro Agnew and then ascended to the presidency after Richard Nixon resigned in the wake of the Watergate scandal.
During his presidency, Ford’s most controversial decision was to grant a presidential pardon to Nixon for any crimes he might have committed in office. This act, he argued, was meant to help heal the country from the divisiveness of the Watergate era. His presidency also witnessed the final withdrawal of American troops from Vietnam, an aggressive attempt to control inflation through the “WIN” (Whip Inflation Now) program, and the signing of the Helsinki Accords, which was a major step in improving relations with the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
The Ford presidency took place during a very difficult period for Americans, and he was the steady hand at the helm to ensure they made it through. This book follows Gerald Ford’s life and career from beginning to end.
