Summary

Grover Cleveland is remembered, if at all, simply as a historical curiosity -- the only president to have served non-consecutive terms. In this biography, John M. Pafford reveals a leader whose unflinching stands for free enterprise and limited, Constitutional government are a beacon in the political tempest of our own time. Grover Cleveland is the forgotten conservative, Pafford argues: a man of dignity, integrity, and courage who fought corruption and eliminated taxpayer funding of projects that he considered outside the purview of government. "The lesson should be constantly enforced," Cleveland warned the nation, "that, though the people support the government, the government should not support the people."
