Famed as a pugnaciously honest leader, Grover Cleveland set the tone for what a politician should do when caught in scandal: "Whatever you say, tell the truth." But to save himself from career-ending allegations involving a rape and violence he lied — and won election to two terms as president of the United States.

Now, in his gripping work of nonfiction, A SECRET LIFE: The Lies and Scandals of President Grover Cleveland, acclaimed author Charles Lachman reveals that Cleveland led a secret life that previous histories and biographies have overlooked. Lachman's engrossing work of investigative history will rewrite the way history looks at one of our most esteemed presidents.
