GRAND RAPIDS AND ANN ARBOR-- Dr. Scott Kaufman, chair of the Department of History at Francis Marion University, spoke at both the Museum and the Library about his newest book, Ambition, Pragmatism, and Party: A Political Biography of Gerald R. Ford. Kaufman described Ford as a product of his pragmatic Midwestern roots, a man ambitious to succeed in politics, and loyal to his party but not a political ideologue. Kaufman is the author of numerous books on diplomatic, presidential, and military history.
