Despite their colossal achievements as founding fathers,
Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe all ended their lives impoverished
and in debt.
Ulysses S. Grant saved his family from a life of penury by
finishing his bestselling memoirs on the very eve of his death.
Having failed to address HIV-AIDS effectively as president, Bill
Clinton directed groundbreaking efforts after leaving office to
make life-saving AIDS drugs affordable.
In "Citizen-in-Chief," Leonard Benardo and Jennifer Weiss
examine the dramatic, little-known, sometimes inspiring, and often
heartrending post-presidential lives of former Oval Office
occupants. From the high-profile humanitarianism of Jimmy Carter
and Bill Clinton to the quiet achievements of Rutherford B. Hayes
and Herbert Hoover, "Citizen-in-Chief" reveals that the true
stories of great leaders are rarely complete once they leave the
White House.
