The author alleges that Rutherford B. Hayes, while not considered one of the greatest Presidents, served his disputed term without scandal and with considerable competence. Because of this, he deserves to be remembered. the listing on Amazon.com goes on to say: "Historian Hans L. Trefousse explores Hayes's new relevance and reconsiders what many have seen as the pitfalls of his presidency. While Hayes did officially terminate the Reconstruction, Trefousse points out that this process was already well under way by the start of his term and there was little he could do to stop it. A great intellectual and one of our best-educated presidents, Hayes did much more in the way of healing the nation and elevating the presidency."
