[Read by John Lescault] A compelling new biography of America's most powerful Speaker of the House, who held the divided nation together for three decades and who was Lincoln's guiding light. In a little known chapter of early American history, a fearless Kentucky lawyer rids Congress of corruption and violence in an era when congressmen debated with bullets as well as ballots. Harlow Giles Unger reveals how Henry Clay, the youngest congressman ever elected Speaker of the House, rewrote congressional rules and established the Speaker as the most powerful elected official after the president. During five decades of public service -- as congressman, senator, secretary of state, and four-time presidential candidate -- Clay produced historic compromises that postponed civil war for fifty years. Lincoln called Clay ''the man for whom I fought all my life.''

The only freshman congressman ever elected Speaker of the House, Henry Clay served in public office from 1806 to 1852, bringing with him an arsenal of rhetorical weapons to subdue feuding members of the House of Representatives, and established the Speaker as the most powerful elected official after the President. Harlow Giles Unger tells how, as congressman, senator, secretary of state, and four-time presidential candidate, Clay constantly battled to save the republic, summoning uncanny negotiating skills to force bitter foes to compromise on slavery. His "Missouri Compromise" and four other such measures curtailed secessions, said Abraham Lincoln, "by a power and influence which belonged to no other statesman of his age and times."A comprehensive biography of the statesman whom Abraham Lincoln called 'the ideal politician.'. In this lucid, exemplary biography, Unger focuses on not just Clay, but also on the formation of the early republic, a time too little studied today. An excellent introduction to a turbulent era."—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) 318.
