 James K. Polk by John Seigenthaler and Arthur Meier Schlesinger, Jr. : Booksamillion.com (0805069429, Hardcover)
Written by fellow Tennessean and longtime journalist John Seigenthaler, this book examines the world that formed Polk's character and shows how he faced issues, or—in the case of slavery—avoided them.
Seigenthaler traces Polk's growth into a fiercely partisan Democrat and protégé of Andrew Jackson, an allegiance which produced his surprise selection as the Democratic "dark horse" candidate of 1844.
Polk's candidacy had led his Whig opponents to ask the satirical question, "Who is James Polk?" Seigenthaler offers an excellent answer, with insights into Polk's beliefs, administrative style and the strengths and flaws that led to his successes, yet diminished his reputation in history.
