Name that book!

A friend of mine opens a blog post reviewing a biography of Zachary Taylor, the 12th President of the US, this way:

What can be said about a man who was President for just 16 months? What can be said about a President who never held any other political office in his life? What can be said about a man who likely never voted in his life until he was elected President? What can be said about a man who almost went directly from battlefield success to the White House?

So what book's opening paragraph is Bob parodying? Yes, I know the answer. I recognized it immediately; I even gave a copy of the book to a girlfriend at the time of its first publication, which says something about me. Probably nothing good.

If you want to be polite, you'll use ROT-13 to encrypt your answer. Here's a converter. Type your answer in plain text, press the Cypher button, and copy/paste the result into the comments.
