From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Residence and
First Women-also a New York Times bestseller-comes a poignant,
news-making look at the lives of the five former presidents in the
wake of their White House years, including the surprising
friendships they have formed through shared perspective and
empathy-now with a new afterword After serving the highest office
of American government, five men-Jimmy Carter, the late George H.
W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama-became
members of the world's most exclusive fraternity. In Team of Five,
Kate Andersen Brower goes beyond the White House to uncover what,
exactly, comes after the presidency, offering a glimpse into the
complex relationships of these five former presidents, and how each
of these men views his place in a nation that has been upended by
the Oval Office's current, norm-breaking occupant, President Donald
Trump. With an empathetic yet critical eye and firsthand testimony
from the Carters, Donald Trump, and the top aides, friends, and
family members of the five former presidents, Team of Five takes us
inside the exclusive world of these powerful men and their
families, including the unlikely friendship between George W. Bush
and Michelle Obama, the last private visits Bill Clinton and Barack
Obama shared with George H.W. Bush, and the Obamas' flight to Palm
Springs after Donald Trump's inauguration. Perhaps most timely,
this insightful, illuminating book overflows with anecdotes about
how the ex-presidents are working to combat President Trump's
attempts to undo the achievements and hard work accomplished during
their own terms. Perhaps most poignantly, Team of Five sheds light
on the inherent loneliness and inevitable feelings of powerlessness
and frustration that come with no longer being the most important
person in the world, but a leader with only symbolic power. There
are ways, though, that these men, and their wives, have become
powerful political and cultural forces in American life, even as
so-called "formers." Team of Five includes 16 pages of color
photographs.
