Overview
This book examines more than a dozen major decisions of the presidency—Truman dropping the Bomb; Nixon going to China; Jefferson purchasing the Louisiana Territory—and the stories behind them. Told in a crisp, narrative writing style, the author brings the presidency and its big decisions to life with his unique storytelling and pacing, and highlights the lessons to be learned. Some of the decisions are well known; others are not. But they’re all told in a way that will keep you turning the pages to learn more. Each chapter stands as a study in leadership and decision-making. By the end of the book, you’ll be an expert in the men and the decisions that shaped the country, and the lessons that can be learned from their leadership and often their courage.
With a concluding chapter that assesses President Obama’s first year in office and reviews his major decisions, this lively, illuminating book will appeal to history buffs, devotees of politics, students, and anyone interested in decision-making at the highest and most influential level.
