description: Henry Clay was a great man in an era when great men were commonplace. He dominated the political scene during the years from 1820-1850. However, Clay was always a partisan and his early biographers were usually advocates rather than historians. In this work Glyndon Van Deusen, no grand admirer of Clay, brings an objective eye to focus on his target. What has emerged is an unusually brilliant, totally comprehensive one-volume study which ranks high in the historical writing of this century. (from back cover).
