It was during his administration that the United States made its diplomatic and military debut as a world power. McKinley was one of eight presidents who, either in the White House or on the battlefield, stood as principals in successful wars, and he was among the six or seven to take office in what became recognized as a major realignment of the U.S. party system. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePhillips, author of \u003ci\u003eWealth and Democracy\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Cousins' War\u003c\/i\u003e, has long been fascinated with McKinley in the context of how the GOP began each of its cycles of power. He argues that McKinley's lackluster ratings have been sustained not by unjust biographers but by years of criticism about his personality, indirect methodologies, middle-class demeanor, and tactical inability to inspire the American public. In this powerful and persuasive biography, Phillips musters convincing evidence that McKinley's desire to heal, renew prosperity, and reunite the country qualify him for promotion into the ranks of the best chief executives.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKevin Phillips\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eWealth and Democracy\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Cousins' War\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eArrogant Capital \u003c\/i\u003e, is a regular contributor to the\u003ci\u003e Los Angeles Times, The New York Times Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post \u003c\/i\u003eand is a commentator for CBS and National Public Radio.
