William McKinley: A Life from Beginning to End

William McKinley’s presidency was fairly brief as far as presidencies go, but it was incredibly consequential all the same. The most notable and lasting part of his legacy is no doubt the US acquisition of Guam and Puerto Rico, which remain US territories to this very day.

But William McKinley’s presidency meant more than these land grabs. In many ways McKinley’s presidency meant a whole new order of the day. Sadly, both his time as president, and his time on this Earth would be cut short by an assassin’s bullet. Nevertheless, here in this book we will cover William McKinley’s life and his tremendous legacy—in full.
