The Great Impeacher

The ninth volume in the Brooklyn College Studies on Society in Change series, originally published by Brooklyn College Press, is a political biography which offers a reappraisal of this controversial Ohio Republican's public career. The book attempts to give a balanced and realistic interpretive portrayal of a significant politician who was connected with almost every seminal political event in American history from 1852 to 1872. The author concludes that Ashley should be given credit for the many positive contributions he made to a dynamic era. Co-published with Atlantic Research and Publications, Inc.
