'An Underrated Leader'

Michigan Notable Author at Fremont Library

Live @ the Library, a series of events including author visits and informational presentations at Fremont Area District Library is thrilled to host Michigan Notable Author Richard Norton Smith, as he presents his book An Ordinary Man: The Surprising Life and Historic Presidency of Gerald R. Ford.

For many Americans, President Gerald Ford was the genial accident of history who controversially pardoned his Watergate-tarnished predecessor, presided over the fall of Saigon, and became a punching bag on Saturday Night Live. Yet as Richard Norton Smith reveals in his Michigan Notable book full of surprises, Ford was an underrated leader whose tough decisions and personal decency look better with the passage of time. Copies of the book will be available to purchase at this event which takes place at the library on Monday, June 3rd at 7:00 p.m.
