The first full-scale biography of John Hay since 1934: From secretary to Abraham Lincoln to secretary of state for Theodore Roosevelt, Hay was an essential American figure for more than half a century.John Taliaferro’s brilliant biography captures the extraordinary life of Hay, one of the most amazing figures in American history, and restores him to his rightful place. Private secretary to Lincoln and secretary of state to Theodore Roosevelt, Hay was both witness and author of many of the most significant chapters in American history—from the birth of the Republican Party, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, to the prelude to World War I. As an ambassador and statesman, he guided many of the country’s major diplomatic initiatives at the turn of the twentieth century: the Open Door with China, the creation of the Panama Canal, and the establishment of America as a world leader. Hay’s friends are a who’s who of the era: Mark Twain, Horace Greeley, Henry Adams, Henry James, and virtually every president, sovereign, author, artist, power broker, and robber baron of the Gilded Age. His peers esteemed him as “a perfectly cut stone” and “the greatest prime minister this republic has ever known.” But for all his poise and polish, he had his secrets. His marriage to one of the wealthiest women in the country did not prevent him from pursuing the Madame X of Washington society, whose other secret suitor was Hay’s best friend, Henry Adams. All the Great Prizes, the first authoritative biography of Hay in eighty years, renders a rich and fascinating portrait of this brilliant American and his many worlds.

Enjoyed this book very much! The book is well-written and flows well.I ran across John Hay while reading extensively about Abraham Lincoln, and the Civil War in general.Hay was one of Lincoln's two secretaries he took with him from Illinois to Washington. In those days, President's Secretaries were trusted gatekeepers and advisers, not paper shufflers. Both secretaries wrote letters and signed AL's name when appropriate. Worked into AL's second term, then moved on to work with the US Foreign Service, sponsored by William Seward, AL's brilliant Secretary of State.Hay continuously moved up and on during his life and career. Married well, made lots of money in business and was friends with practically everyone in the highest circles of American and European society.Went on to become President William McKinley's Secretary of State, then served Teddy Roosevelt after WM's assassination. A very trying and contentious assignment, given TR's manic sword-rattling and Empire-building approach to world affairs. Hay and his social circle knew TR and his extended family well, which helped Hay to soften TR's strenuous blusterBook reads easily. You can flip through the endless story of the Panama Canal negations if you must. The whole Canal story is covered very well by the "The Path Between the Seas: The Creation of the Panama Canal, 1870-1914" by David McCollough, which I may get around to reviewing one day.I highly recommend this book to the intelligent reader of history; Hay is a fascinating man in his own right, and JT does an excellent job of portraying him and his times.FEU
