Who was the worst president in US history?  Often Warren G Harding is ranked at the bottom but Ryan S Walters author of the The Jazz Age President: Defending Warren G. Harding  published by Regnery History shows how this much maligned president earned a reputation he did not deserve.  Mr. Walters writes an engaging history about this little known and much criticized president.  Warren Harding 's presidency occurred after World War I and the Spanish Flu.  When he took office in 1920 there was runaway inflation and widespread unemployment. 100 years later there are deep similarities in the problems and challenges being faced in today's America.   Join me in interview with Ryan Walters as we talk about the Jazz Age President.
