"The Strange Deaths of President Harding is a scrupulously
researched and vividly told overview by Robert H. Ferrell, . . .
who demolishes or casts doubt on most of the accusations and
suspicions surrounding America's twenty-ninth president. . . .
Ferrell is on his surest ground."--American Spectator
"A straightforward, well-written account of the final days and
hours before Harding's fatal heart attack. Ferrell . . . presents a
plausible, generally interesting case for reappraising the more
conventional, derogatory view of Harding and his
administration."--Booklist
"Ferrell's discussions of the cause of death and the absurdity of
the poison theory are quite convincing. . . . This is a feisty,
spirited, lively little book and, like the author's earlier ones,
fun to read."--Illinois Historical Journal
"In a careful, detailed analysis of the evidence, [Ferrell] gives
Harding the benefit of a reasonable doubt."--Washington Times
