A man of honor and integrity.
McChullough does his homework!  This is a fascinating study of a president that has been underrated by many folks.  Because of the times we live in, it is especially heartening to read about a man of honor who ran this country with intelligence and wisdom.  Oh for the good old days!
Entitlemania deals with an often overlooked topic and one that is simply not discussed in our current culture -  that is the value of just plain hard work!  If something is just given to you, what do you learn and what benefit do you derive from something that is handed to you.  However, the value of just plain hard work is hard to over-state!  The character that is built from hard work and the inevitable struggle at times is not available from any other source.  It can be said that what one learns and becomes through planning and hard work cannot be taken from them, but rather it becomes what you are and what you bring to every situation.  This book does an excellent job of demonstrating how this is so true in today's culture here in America - really regardless of the socioeconomic position of an individual.  Every parent should read this book!
