Often overshadowed by the larger-than-life figures who followed him, William McKinley was a steady hand during a pivotal time in American history. William McKinley Biography: The Tariff President brings to life the story of the 25th President of the United States—a man whose presidency marked the dawn of the American century.

From his roots in small-town Ohio to the bloody battlefields of the Civil War, McKinley's rise to power was shaped by discipline, patriotism, and political savvy. As president, he led the nation through economic recovery, championed protective tariffs, and guided America to victory in the Spanish-American War—laying the groundwork for the country's emergence as a global power.

This audiobook also explores the personal side of McKinley: his enduring devotion to his ailing wife, his quiet strength in leadership, and the tragic end to his presidency when he was assassinated in 1901. His death marked not only the end of an era, but the beginning of a new age under Theodore Roosevelt.

With rich historical detail and compelling narration, William McKinley Biography: The Tariff President offers a thoughtful and engaging portrait of a leader who helped shape modern America. A must-listen for history enthusiasts and anyone seeking to understand the foundations of the nation's rise to global prominence.
