内容説明
A portrait of 19th-century American politician Henry Clay, perhaps best remembered for the Compromise of 1850 which held the Union states together before the Civil War. It traces his rise from Kentucky statesman to Congressman, and the repeated rejection of his candidacy for President.

内容説明
Among the nineteenth-century Americans, few commanded the reverence and respect accorded to Henry Clay of Kentucky. As orator and as Speaker of the House for longer than any man in the century, he wielded great power, a compelling presence in Congress who helped preserve the Union in the antebellum period. Remini portrays both the statesman and the private man, a man whose family life was painfully torn and who burned with ambition for the office he could not reach, the presidency.
