Reviews
"The most influential speaker of the House most people have never heard of . . . Reed makes for good copy . . . Grant has managed to rescue Reed from oblivion and to capture the raucous political atmosphere in which Reed did battle." -- The Wall Street Journal, "A winning new biography. . . . After his death, oblivion overtook Reed quite quickly. Grant has helped restore him to his rightful place among the giants of the House." - Roll Call, "Astute. . . . Grant is excellent in explaining how Reed could be a man of principle but also a practical politician." - The Washington Post, "Rollicking.... [a] droll, urbane narrative.... A lively, opinionated, and timely study of irresponsible politics grappling with a dire economy.... Grant's Reed encapsulates a political era that is the mirror image of our own." -- Publishers Weekly (Starred Review), "No period in American history is more colorful or relevant to our own-for better and worse-than the Gilded Age. James Grant brings it all memorably to life: Mugwumps and Half-Breeds, congressmen of flamboyant plumage for sale, not to mention a political process frozen in partisanship. Looming above it all, literally larger than life, is Thomas B. Reed, perhaps the most fascinating politician you've never heard of. A hero to young Theodore Roosevelt, as Speaker of the House Reed singlehandedly crushed the filibuster. (One is tempted to say, Boy do we need him now). At the same time, Reed's erudition and stinging wit may well have cost him the White House. In the end, his ambition yielded to his principles, prompting him to resign the speakership rather than endorse the imperial vision of his fellow Republicans. It's taken a century, but Reed at last has a biographer equal to his story." --Richard Norton Smith, author of The Colonel: The Life and Legend of Robert R. McCormick, 1880-1955 and Scholar-in-Residence of History and Public Policy at George Mason University, "The most influential speaker of the House most people have never heard of . . .

Synopsis
"The most influential speaker of the House most people have never heard of...Reed makes for good copy...Grant has managed to rescue Reed from oblivion and to capture the raucous political atmosphere in which Reed did battle" (Jonathan Karl, The Wall Street Journal ). James Grant's enthralling biography of Thomas B. Reed, Speaker of the House during one of the most turbulent times in American history--the decades before the ascension of reformer President Theodore Roosevelt--brings to life one of the brightest, wittiest, and most consequential political stars in our history, a man who changed forever the way the House of Representatives does its business by reforming the misuse of the filibuster.
